David Bromberg fans who got closed out of his upcoming show, Landmark in March, get a second chance to catch the David Bromberg Quintet in action. Friday night’s event sold out in record time so Landmark has added a second show on Thursday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m.
This show makes it a four-night weekend at the Jeanne Rimsky Theater; Bromberg joins a powerhouse lineup that includes the Bill Charlap Trio’s Leonard Bernstein Centennial on Saturday, March 3, and Jose James’ Lean On Me Bill Withers Tribute on Sunday, March 4.
Bromberg, whom Jerry Jeff Walker called “the reason man created stringed instruments,” has been touring in support of his latest release, The Blues, The Whole Blues and Nothing But The Blues (Red House Records).
Produced by longtime Bob Dylan and Levon Helm collaborator Larry Campbell, Bromberg’s first album since 2013 is a wonderfully-curated selection of deep cuts from the blues genre, in addition to original compositions.
Bromberg found his inspiration for the album when he heard Willie Nelson repeat a quote from Texas fiddler Johnny Gimble: “There’s only two kinds of music — the Star Spangled Banner and the Blues.”
This is Bromberg’s 18th album, the latest in a solo career that began in 1971 with his self-titled debut.
Bromberg last appeared at Landmark on October 31, 2015, in a sold-out show.
Tickets for David Bromberg Quintet on March 1 are available through Landmark’s Box Office, 516-767-6444 and online at www.landmarkonmainstreet.org.
