"Few artists have been able to bring the type of genuine showmanship & songwriting talent to studio and stage like Gentry Bronson."

- Penelope Biver, Starrider Media, Chicago

The hard working San Francisco-based musician is drawing scores of fans to his piano-driven music, a sound like a young Tom Waits, Tori Amos with testicles, or David Gray's American step-brother. The intersection of storytelling and melody in his songwriting and a truly unique vocal style have also earned him comparisons to Michael Stipe and Nick Cave, and his stage theatrics have had people saying he's like a character from Hedwig & The Angry Inch.

"Gentry Bronson can see the future of the music business, one in which he hits it big without selling his soul to a big recording company."

- Dan Fost, San Francisco Chronicle

After winning 3 Northern California Songwriters Association awards in 2000, Gentry formed the band the Night Watchmen and released 3 records with the band from 2001 to 2005. Night Watchmen singles reached the top of both Mp3.com and Garageband.com's alternative music charts, and stayed there for months.  At the same, he started his solo career, releasing 4 records under his name from 2003 to 2007 and gaining an ever stronger and more wide spread fan base as a soloist.

His last full length solo record 'No War' was released in 2007, with the single 'Shine' on a Spring 2007 Alternative Music Press compilation.

"'No War' is a very well produced album with the perfect amount of layers to keep listeners involved, and not get them lost within the songs. Gentry Bronson provides great piano work and melody lines reminiscent of Leonard Cohen and Billy Joel, taking from great collections of piano rock."
 - Damon Kellard, Bryan Farrish Radio

Gentry followed the release with two U.S. tours performing over 100 shows across thousands of miles. He then did 13 shows in Europe and returned for another 7-date tour of the U.S. West Coast.

In October 2008, Gentry released a new single, an English version of "Avond", originally by famous Dutch artist Boudewijn de Groot. He then flew back to Europe for a 14-date tour throughout the Netherlands. He returned to the U.S. from a 5-month tropical disappearance in March 2009. 

"Gentry's extended hiatus from songwriting, performing and recording has given him wisdom he hopes to pass on to his listeners to help them deal with the chaos and stresses of these modern times. "

- Adam Hammer, SC Times

Gentry is now in California working on new recordings.  Europe will see him on tour again in October & November '09.

Throughout his 7 indie CD releases, touring, and many benefit concerts, Gentry is an inspiring and original artist. He said from a seaside palapa in March 2009, "I'll never do what they expect me to. I'm going to enjoy getting where I get to. And that is so good."

"Gentry Bronson is a gem, an exceptional talent.  I wish I had the correct words to tell you of his talent and his dramatic skills as he sings and plays the keyboard and captivates his audience.  The audience seemed under his spell." 
- Lucia Whitney, Bread & Roses
