Why see David Bromberg?
An American Blues Master
Singer-songwriter David Bromberg is known for his eclectic style, playing bluegrass, blues, folk, jazz, country and western, and rock & roll equally well. He is known for his quirky, humorous lyrics, and the ability to play rhythm and lead guitar at the same time.
Philadelphia-born Bromberg is lucky to have more than one claim-to-fame - being a celebrated guitarist aside, he was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2008 for his solo album 'Try Me One More Time', has played alongside Bob Dylan, and even co-wrote a song with George Harrison of The Beatles.
His 2013 album, 'Only Slightly Mad', was recorded with his live band in 2013 in just twelve days. It offers a well-rounded glimpse at Bromberg's musical repertoire, with blues, folk, pop and even English drinking songs finding a place on the album. This was followed up by 2016's The Blues, the Whole Blues, and Nothing But the Blues, a collection of covers in Bromberg's signature Americana blues style.
