Bruce Randall Hornsby (born November 23, 1954 in Williamsburg, Virginia) is an American singer, virtuoso pianist, accordion player, and songwriter, best known for his 1980s signature song "The Way It Is" and the top five hits "Mandolin Rain" and "The Valley Road". Later in his recording career he moved in a less commercial, more musically challenging direction. However, his live shows have long been marked by a more spontaneous, improvisational approach. |
