Bruce Coughlan credits the COVID-19 pandemic for giving him the opportunity to become a better writer, performer, musician, and storyteller.
Before the pandemic he was involved in numerous live projects with Tiller’s Folly, Voices for the Salish Sea, Beatles-based educational show: The Abby Road Rockers, and Moondance: the Van Morrison Songbook.
Coughlan debuted Moondance: the Van Morrison Songbook in November 2019 at Blue Frog Studios for five sold-out shows.
