“Eddie Bruce is not widely known in New York City, but that could change after this appearance. He has an unforced charm, a self-effacing good humor, and a way with a Tony Bennett hit. Bruce doesn’t impersonate Bennett, but he captures his attitude and phrasings in a pleasing, entertaining way. He is a relaxed performer, so he didn’t rush through the program, but he did keep things moving and had plenty of energy for those big Bennett song endings. With 2026 being the centenary of Tony Bennett, we may have more opportunities soon to experience Eddie Bruce.”— Mark Dundas Wood, Bistro Awards
“Bruce’s tribute to Tony Bennett moved with the ease of someone who understands the material deeply without needing to imitate it. He sang with an unforced clarity that matched the spirit of the lyric: nothing rushed, nothing over-shaped. The most striking moment came with “Fly Me to the Moon.” Bruce stepped away from the microphone entirely. Without amplification, his voice carried on its own weight—natural, unfiltered, slightly vulnerable. Bennett’s 1965 version is bold and stylish; Bruce chose directness and connection. Eddie Bruce didn’t just honor Tony Bennett; he honored Urban Stages: the house he was singing in.”— Jack Quinn, TheaterScene.net
