Cliff Bruner was a pioneer of Western swing, becoming one of the most influential musicians in the history of Texas country music during his lifetime. Bruner was born in Texas City, grew up in Tomball and forged his early music career in the Golden Triangle. At the age of 12, Bruner decided that he didn't want to pick cotton anymore, so he bought himself a fiddle. As a teenager he traveled around the country trying to start a band. He was asked to join Milton Brown's band the Musical Brownies in 1935 at age 20.
