"Unique veterans of folk and roots-blues"
It's a fabulous double bill to beat the winter blues! A legend of the folk scene, David Bromberg got his start in the Greenwich Village coffeehouse scene in the mid-1960s. His extraordinary guitar picking and exceptional stylistic range developed over the next decade. David's live shows, rarer since he took up violin-making full time, range from Texas swing to bluegrass, blues, classical music, and anything else that might cross his mind. In the words of the New York Times, Bromberg "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." Jorma Kaukonen is one of the most important guitarists of our time with a body of work that has grown over four decades now. His brilliant finger-picked fretwork and songwriting, blending rock, blues, folk and country influences, helped make stars out of Jefferson Airplane and its equally legendary (and still active) spinoff band Hot Tuna. Now, he says, "I find myself living a simple life with my music." Jorma has been very active in the studio, and his new album "River of Time" (featuring Levon Helm on drums) mixes Kaukonen originals, some of them from the Hot Tuna songbag, with classic country and blues done Jorma-style.
