Bruce Fite
What kind of music does Bruce Fite sing? He likes to call it "Front Porch" music. You got it - it's the kind of music you might hear if you were just 'laxin' on the porch, drinkin' some iced-tea, trying to figure out how to get your dog's tail out of the ceiling fan (and how it got there in the first place).
Bruce Fite's music is so much more than just "good, solid pet advice". Sure, his song "Don't Put Your Cat in the Washing Machine" has helped countless kitties to be spared from the dangers of large agitating appliances. His music also tells stories. From the formation of a Turtle/Squirrel Rock Band to the bitter-sweet ballad of a man who longs for the companionship of a mouse he once considered his prey.
