David Bromberg

A strikingly gifted multi-instrumentalist with an intuitive understanding of American roots music styles and a sly sense of humor, David Bromberg has earned a following for his many solo recordings and has served as a sideman and collaborator with some of the most respected artists in his field. He stepped out as a solo artist in 1972 and spent the decade releasing albums while playing everything from dobro to fiddle for an array of acts, including Gordon Lightfoot, Ringo Starr, and Bob Dylan. Bromberg spent much of his middle years studying the art of violin luthiery, but occasionally appeared with a new album, such as 2007's Grammy-nominated Try Me One More Time. In the 2010s, he put together a large group, which has made a handful of colorful, eclectic albums.
