Bruce Brucato: Gamalon and Buffalo Hall of Fame guitarist passes away. RIP



RIP Bruce Brucato

It was with great sadness I learned today of the passing of Bruce Brucato, guitarist with Buffalo NY area fusion group Gamalon. Releasing a string of albums with them in the late 1980's into the 90's, he was known for his clean chording, volume swell technique and incredible soloing on the albums "Gamalon", "Ariel View", "Held to the light", "High Contrast" as well as "Project activation earth" with sax player Ernie Watts. I saw Gamalon over 200 times (really) and loved every note the guy played. After a succession of line up changes the band ceased in the 00's, but he was a constant member contributing playing and writing skills throughout their existence. They performed a reunion gig in December of 2012 that had one of the largest capacity clubs in the WNY area packed to the rafters. RIP Bruce Brucato

Lost my best friend in the whole world today. Bruce Brucato was a great musician and a kind, loving human being. He made everyone laugh and was the most giving person I'd ever known. He will be so sorely missed by all. Your thoughts and prayers are so very appreciated.
