The DAVID BROMBERG Quintet
7-20-2018“The reason man created stringed instruments. David touched them with a lover’s fingers and they moaned that true love right back at him. Wood and wire and flesh spoke.” - Jerry Jeff Walker on David Bromberg
David Bromberg, the musician’s musician, decorated multi-instrumentalist and acclaimed singer-songwriter can awe an audience into pindrop silence or have them up on their feet and rockin'. He has played with everyone and toured everywhere. His sensitive and versatile approach to guitar or any stringed instrument has earned him a coveted position as the first-call, "hired gun" for recording sessions, ultimately playing guitar, dobro, fiddle and mandolin on hundreds of records by artists likeBob Dylan, Link Wray, The Eagles, Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Vince Gill, Dr. John, Levon Helm, Keb Mo, Los Lobos, John Hiatt, Widespread Panic and well, just about everyone.
If you have never attended a David Bromberg concert, you're in for an unforgettable experience! He is one of the most engaging, indeed mesmerizing, of performers. The guitar virtuoso, bandleader and former session man and his band of masterful musicians will enthrall you with an eclectic mix of blues, country, jazz and folk that is impossible to classify. His eponymous 1971 debut included “The Holdup,” a songwriting collaboration with former Beatle George Harrison, who also played slide guitar on the track. David also met the Grateful Dead and wound up with four of their members playing on his next two albums. David has spent his life absorbing music from its surviving creators and their recordings so convincingly, while adding his own instrumental twists, that he has become a part of music tradition itself, as close to the source of American roots music as anyone alive. Folk, blues, bluegrass, ragtime, rock, jazz, you name it – he has become The Real Deal.
His new album, "The Blues, The Whole Blues and Nothing But The Blues," was just released on Red House Records. Produced by three-time Grammy winner Larry Campbell, it’s a wonderfully curated selection of deep cuts from the blues genre, with luminous originals and traditional material given the full Bromberg treatment. Be sure to get one signed after the show.
