My Take
David Bromberg is the kind of musician's musician I find endlessly endearing. A Philadelphia native who passed through Columbia before committing fully to music, he refuses to sit in any single genre, gliding between bluegrass, blues, folk, jazz and country with the ease of someone who simply loves the instrument. His knack for playing rhythm and lead guitar at once is a quiet flex, and those famously quirky, humorous lyrics reveal real personality rather than mere technique. He may never be a household name, but artists like Bromberg are the connective tissue of American roots music, and his decades of steady output speak to a lifelong, unpretentious devotion.
