Bruce Kulick became a guitar hero when he was asked to join KISS in 1984. As their lead guitarist, Kulick was featured in the band from ’84 until ’96, performing around the world in addition to his recordings and videos with the iconic band. During those years, he earned multiple Platinum and Gold records and video awards.
In addition to his years in KISS, he toured or recorded with Meatloaf, Billy Squier, Michael Bolton, Avantasia, Lordi, UNION, and is featured on many other artists projects. Since 2000, Kulick has been the lead guitarist for Grand Funk Railroad, “The American Band”.
The current version of Grand Funk is in its 20th year of touring. In addition to his appearances at guitar shows and clinics, for the past three years Bruce has been a featured performer on the sold-out KISS Kruise.
