Bruce Conte, Guitarist

Bruce Conte is a highly skilled guitarist who's been a vital part of the music industry since his work with The Tower of Power through the 1970s.

In 1970 Bruce moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to join a local band called "Loading Zone" along with Tom Coster (from Santana). They opened up for Tower of Power frequently at The Fillmore and a bond began to form and Bruce started to co-write songs with Emilio Castillo and Doc Kupka of Tower of Power. In September of 1972, they hired Lenny Pickett and Bruce from the Loading Zone to join the band.

Through the 80s Bruce was a fixture in the San Francisco club scene before moving to Nevada to play with Detroit based singer Tommy Bell and with a group called "Sante Fe" with band leader Jerry Lopez.

Bruce currently lives and continues to record and perform in Los Angeles.
