    Dave can paly

    by bluesfan555 on 2/14/11Birchmere - Alexandria

    Incredible guitarist that has surrounded himself with other incredible musicians. I was expecting a great show and was totally blown away by how great it was.

    The risk in seeing dinosaurs

    by GMoney52 on 5/13/10Variety Playhouse - Atlanta

    David Bromberg was worth the price of admission. That said, there is risk in seeing someone from your youth and hoping for the same experirece. Jorma is the shell of his former self. His playing was boring and tentitive. I was planning to attend his guitar camp and after last night he just saved me two grand. So I guess the show wasn't a total loss.

    Great show!!

    by Blues51 on 3/8/10Birchmere - Alexandria

    More blues than I expected, but I loved that. Great songs, absolutely gorgeous harmonies from Angel Band. Excellent musicians all...and the female guitarist was easy to watch. She just LOVES playing. The show moved along well, and I really liked the way they moved back and forth into each others group. Dave is married to the leader of the Angel Band and they just play well together. Made for a great night out. And I'm a guitarist and I'm picky about acts with guitarists. If you're a musician, or a singer...see this show and take notes. Well worth traveling to see!! The Angel Band was selling CD's between acts, but I think they didn't consider no one wanted to leave their seats between the two shows. Maybe think about doing it either before or after the performance.

    David Bromberg was incredible!!

    by baseballbob on 3/8/10Birchmere - Alexandria

    I haven't seen David Bromberg in over 25 years since I had caught his show several times in New Castle Delaware and other than appearance (like all of us) he was just as great as I remembered.. The voice, the material, and his incredible playing skills are just awesome. And the kid on fiddle wasn't bad either!!! WHAT A SHOW!! David please don't take any more SHORT breaks from performing!!!

    Bromberg an unforgettable night!!!

    by Anonymous on 3/7/10Birchmere - Alexandria

    We have been fans of Bromberg and blues and bluegrass for years, his re-emergence on the scene is most welcome. didn't know what to make of the "angel band" comprised of his wife and 2 other singers but they were fabulous. All in all a real treat to watch such amazing musicians, all. Cannot imagine that anyone that appreciates great music wouldn't enjoy these guys.

    Bromberg & Angel Band

    by freela on 3/7/10Birchmere - Alexandria

    Thoroughly entertaining. We have been following Bromberg for many years and he never disappoints. I am amazed at the ability of all the musicians, and especially by the new talent in both bands. The bottom line is that we would take every opportunity to hear these guys.

    Bromberg still got it.

    by Birchman on 3/7/10Birchmere - Alexandria

    Ah, the passage of time can be tough on musicians. Heck, on all of us. (That's why i avoid mirrors.) The years on David have been unkind to him physically--a bit of a shock to one who has not seen him live since the late 70s. OK, we got that out of the way. But David still has got the stuff. He's still got that unique, controlled-gravel voice and phrasing. That mischievous, dry sense of humor that permeates his lyrics that enables him to skewer his song characters without seeming to be cruel. He paints song characters that we all relate to because we have been there--we are gullible dopes full of hopefulness, full of stupidity. "I'm not a drinker, but a drink allows me to think more clearly. About my next drink." The music is great, the playing is tight and fun and it's more -- it's a real personality and presence that makes us feel good. Acoustic or electric, David can pick and play with the best, from the classic folkie strumming/picking to electric blues worthy of BB. Some oldie, folkie-boomer stars are best left on their old LPs. David's talents still shine. Rock-solid melodies well played with a just-right bass-line and, most importantly, with something to SAY. What a treat. Did I say David can flat play that thing? Oh, he can flat play that thing. I hope David out-Ronk's Von Ronk. Keep on playin, David. Kudos also to The Kid and sideman Mitch Corbin, fiddle/mandolin and guitar/mandolin respectively. Solid. Fun. Come back the the Birchmere every yea.

    Bromberg Hasn't Missed a Beat

    by BirdingCarol on 3/7/10Birchmere - Alexandria

    He didn't perform for 22 years, but you'd never know it. His voice is still as pure as it was in the early 1970s, when I saw him perform at Nassau Community College. Fiddler Nate Grower adds a lot, as do the Angel Band. The chemistry between the band members is palpable.

    Give him one more try

    by Anonymous on 3/7/10Birchmere - Alexandria

    After 22 years away, David Bromberg is back - he has a new CD "Give me one more try". The show made for an enjoyable evening with tunes showcasing a range of bluesy styles for David's classic songs about love gone awry, all while gently poking fun, mostly at himself. But what made this really special was Nate Grower a young fiddler who is playing with the band. I have never been a huge fan of fiddling, but Nate could make that fiddle sing a song so melancholy it made me want to weep, followed by a song so joyous that I had a hard time staying in my seat. I picked up his CD after the show, and got another for my bluegrass-loving brother.

    This is the third show of David's I've seen. This may have been the best. Always professional, always entertaining and ever-talented. This guy rocks on one song, then brings a tear to the eye on the next. Rock-on, David!

    Comfortable evening with David Bromberg

    by jobek on 10/22/09Aladdin Theater - Portland

    We skipped the opening band because so many opening bands at the Aladdin have been AWFUL this summer but I guess we missed David playing with his wife/sister in-law and ?. The women changed the mood of David's songs,, they weren't bad they just changed things a bit.
