BRUCE WOJICK
NFMusicHOF - PRESIDENT
Bruce Wojick was welcomed to the Niagara Falls Music Hall of Fame Board of Directors after his induction in 2017. He has been regarded as one of Western New York’s most talented and respected guitarists, singers and songwriters.
A native of Niagara Falls New York, he has been a mainstay musician since 1983. He has performed his original compositions in the bands ROXX, Raw Deel, and nationally with two of the area’s popular original rock bands God’s Children and Klear.
He continues to write and perform his own songs with his current band, The Struggle. Over the years, Bruce was also a guitarist and vocalist for the Jimmy Jones Band, performing with Buffalo Music HOF inductee and international recording artist, Jessie Galante; with Buffalo’s original band 53 Days, and many other cover bands.
For the past 20 years, he has been performing with guitarist Jamie Holka, also a 2017 Inductee, as the acoustic duo, Brothers of Invention. He is also a member of the popular tribute band Strictly Hip, currently performing locally, nationally and internationally, masterfully covering the songs of the Tragically Hip. As a full-time musician, Bruce performs two-to-five times per week as a solo artist or as a member of a duo, trio or full band in venues ranging from small bars to large stages with attendance of 10-20,000 fans.
Bruce has been awarded many music awards in Western New York and he has achieved world-wide success with many of his written and performed songs heard in television shows, films and trailers. Bruce has been known to say “I did not think it was an option not to write my own songs”. Performing his original music live in clubs opened the doors for other area artists to create and play their own music.
His influence as a songwriter and his prowess in music paved the way for many to add original music to their live performances.
He continues to work with talented musicians from the western New York area on original projects of his own as well as others. Bruce lives in the city of Niagara Falls with his wife Cynthia and is honored to be on the Niagara Falls Music Hall of Fame Board of Directors.
