The son of long-time square dancers, Bronc joined his first square dance class in 1975. 16 weeks later, he called his first tip. Since that time, Bronc has become one of Square Dance Calling’s true globetrotters. He has been featured at dances, festivals, workshops, resorts and caller schools all over the world.
Many dancers feel that Bronc’s smooth flowing hash calls are like “floating on air”. They might also warn you to watch out for a twinkle in those big, brown eyes, as Bronc is a fine hash-calling technician known for inventive and challenging maneuvers. Most dancers feel Bronc is one of the activity’s finest teachers. His presentation and “real world” approach to teaching is truly unique.
An accomplished guitarist, mandolin and bass player, Bronc has played on many square dance releases as well as radio and TV spots. His first “on stage” experience came at the age of 12 when he started playing in a rock bank. Calling eventually took him away from band gigs. Not wanting to leave music completely, Bronc apprenticed at several recording studios learning the ins and outs of recording. Eventually, he was certified as a recording engineer. He now runs Amigo Studios here in Mission, TX.
Bronc has recorded vocals and/or music for numerous square dance labels over the years. Currently Bronc is working on projects for Amigo Recordings, Sting Productions of London, England and ESP productions of Florida.
Bronc and his wife, Fia, live in Mission, TX where Bronc is resident caller at El Valle Del Sol RV park during the winter months.
