David Bromberg's wife's dad delivered me in 1963. He was my mom's OBGYN and he pulled me out via cesarean. And he donated blood to keep me alive because I was born with the wrong blood type. Back in June 1987 I caught up with David and his wife while they were playing a gig in Chicago. I told them the story and they were blown away. Great people, fun night. Smokin' band that night, too.
Will be there!! Missed show last Sept. b/c Hurricane Ian cancelled my flight. Am proudly going with my daughter. First saw David B. playing beside Jerry Jeff Walker at The Main Point-- 50+ years ago. Excited about this show.
Thank you Jonathan. Thank you David (and Nancy) for all the great times and great music. I'd love to be at The Beacon, but ironically will be in Wilmington. For anyone thinking of going, do it. David's current big band is a killer bunch of players. No doubt that this will be a memorable show.
I'd call David Bromberg an institution, but he's not ready for an institution. Got to see him at The Flynn in Burlington VT a year or so ago. Great show.
I love Bromberg. I saw him live a bunch of times long ago. But he seems to be off in this interview. Like he's really uncomfortable or nervous. I always remember him being really gregarious and seemed much more relaxed. I hope he's doing OK and maybe I'm wrong.
