Bromberg was born to a Jewish family in Philadelphia and raised in Tarrytown, New York, on September 19, 1945. He attended Columbia College of Columbia University in the 1960s, and studied guitar with bluesman, Reverend Gary Davis, during that period who taught him the finger picking style of the Piedmont region.
He has played with many musicians, including Jerry Jeff Walker, Willie Nelson, Jorma Kaukonen, Jerry Garcia, and Bob Dylan. David co-wrote the song "The Holdup" with George Harrison, who played on Bromberg's self-titled 1972 album. In 2008, he was nominated for a Grammy Award. Today, David Bromberg and his wife live in Wilmington, Delaware, where they own a violin sales and repair shop.
I hope this retrospective journey piques you to dig deeper into his music.
