Justin Bruce recaps Eggy's five shows opening for Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers. Cross-pollination was plentiful during this dreamy run, be it Eggy with Bruce, Bruce with Eggy, or members of the Noisemakers (Gibb Droll and John Mailander) with Eggy.
Four albums I'd recommend for anyone new to Bruce Hornsby: 1993's Harbor Lights, 2000's Here Come the Noisemakers, 2011's Bride of the Noisemakers, and 2019's Absolute Zero. Here are my notes re: the 19 Bruce Hornsby albums I listened to to familiarize myself with his catalog.
