Cool Papa Boo is the artist formerly known as Bruce Hoffman. No matter what you call him, his songs are smart, quirky and literate — sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes both at the same time, and always real. He uses stories and the tools of folk music to present his own unique vision of the world in which he lives.
CPB's alter ego Bruce Hoffman is an active member of the Pittsburgh Songwriters Circle and Songwriters in Harmony. His lyrics have been recognized and awarded by "American Songwriter Magazine."
