Bromberg attended Columbia University in the 1960s and studied guitar with Reverend Gary Davis during that period. He has played with many famous musicians, including Jerry Jeff Walker, Jorma Kaukonen, Jerry Garcia, and Bob Dylan, and co-wrote the song “The Holdup”, with former Beatle George Harrison.

He began releasing albums of his own in the early 1970s on Columbia Records. His seven-minute rendition of “Mr. Bojangles” from 1972’s Demon in Disguise, interspersed with tales about travelling with song author Jerry Jeff Walker, earned progressive rock radio airplay.

Bromberg currently lives in Wilmington, Delaware where he and his wife, artist Nancy Josephson, own an extensive violin sales and repair shop, with a partial subsidy from the City of Wilmington, Delaware. He occasionally performs at Wilmington’s Grand Opera House.

Bromberg is proficient on fiddle, many styles of acoustic and electric guitar (to each of which he lends a highly individual voice), pedal steel guitar and Dobro. David Lindley, Norman Blake, Mark O’Connor, Emily Robison and Ricky Skaggs are among the small number of other major musicians with equal proficiency on three or more string instruments.

Bromberg released his first new studio album since 1990 with Try Me One More Time on 27 February 2007, on Appleseed Recordings. The disc includes Dylan’s “It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry” and Elizabeth Cotten‘s “Shake Sugaree.” Bromberg’s previous disc was Sideman Serenade.

After several years of
inactivity on the touring front, David Bromberg is beginning to
reappear on the live concert scene. Bromberg has reunited the “big
band” several times over the last few years and 2003 will see the band
come together at least twice for two short runs early in the year.
David is also beginning to play more with Jay Ungar and Molly Mason in
their show titled “An Evening of American Acoustic Music”. This show
creates an eclectic musical journey through several uniquely American
music forms. The show features the early works of Stephen Foster, the
Texas swing of Bob Wills, Cajun fiddle tunes, Delta and Chicago Blues,
Bluegrass, Folk and much more.

Bromberg’s
live show remains as unique as ever. Concerts by David and his band are
extraordinary events, and performances follow no set pattern of
selection. Give and take between performer is complete, spontaneous,
and totally sincere. As the NY Times noted “He has such control of his
audience that he can, at one moment, hold it in his hand with a tender,
touching yet funny anecdotal song, and then set it romping and stomping
with a raucous bit of raunch. He is electrifying.”

Born
in Philadelphia on September 19, 1945. Bromberg grew up in Tarrytown,
New York. Inspired by the music of Pete Seeger and the Weavers, among
others, he began studying the guitar at age 13. After graduating from
Tarrytown High School, he enrolled at Columbia University intent on a
career as a musicologist.
Drawn to Greenwich Village’s flourishing
coffeehouse folk music scene in the mid-1960’s, Bromberg opted for
performance combined with his studies; he left school in the middle of
his second year, however, to devote full time to his music. Shortly
thereafter, his extraordinary guitar picking and exceptional stylistic
range brought him to the attention of many other musicians: Bob Dylan,
Ringo Starr, John Hurt, the Reverend Gary Davis, Tom Paxton, and Chubby
Checker are only a few of the notables who sought Bromberg out as a
back-up artist for recording. In all he has played as a sideman on over
100 albums.

A
singular performer/writer/arranger, Bromberg’s remarkable musical
versatility and innovative resourcefulness have earned vast critical
and popular acclaim. He is also impossible to classify: As one critic
perceptively wrote, “David Bromberg fits no pigeonholes. He is part of
everything contemporarily musical. He is a product of blues, country,
jazz, folk, and classical music. From his early success as a guitar
virtuoso, Mr. Bromberg has developed into a brilliant entertainer.”
In 1970 Bromberg decided to go it on his own and, following a
spectacular, unscheduled performance at England’s Isle of Wight
Festival that year, he was signed to his first recording contract,
which resulted in the release of four albums: David Bromberg, Demon in
Disguise, Wanted Dead or Alive, and Midnight on the Water with
Columbia, now Sony. Two compilation albums have subsequently been
released. In the spring of 1977 Bromberg moved to the San Francisco Bay
where he recorded several albums for Fantasy, including the double
album How Late’ll Ya Play ‘Til?.

In the fall of 1980 Bromberg dissolved his band and moved to Chicago
where four years later he was graduated from the Kenneth Warren School
of Violin Making. The late eighties and early nineties saw Bromberg
tour only occasionally and mostly as a solo artist. Bromberg now
considers these occasional reunions as a way to see old friends and
play great music again. Preferring to spend time with his family and to
buy and sell violins, the days on the road for extended periods simply
do not fit his primary interests as a father and businessman.

Bromberg has currently left Chicago and returned east. He and his
family have settled in Wilmington, Delaware. David has opened a retail
violin shop in that city’s downtown Market Street area. The shop
specializes in sales and repair as well as bow and violin making.

With his return to the east coast, Bromberg fans can expect to see and hear a lot more from him.
