David BrombergDavid BrombergAngel BandAngel BandA rare live performance from the legendary guitar, fiddle, mandolin and dobro player, as he roams through a timeless selection of blues, bluegrass, Americana, jazz and folk tunes. As the NY Times noted of Bromberg, “He 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.”
