Bob Brozman in the UK
From Aberdeen to Isle of Wight, from Belfast to Margate, Bob has had a long and wide musical relationship with the United Kingdom since his first show there in 1989.
Bob hit the ground running - literally - in the UK. Bob came to play at the Institute of Contemporary Art on a very rainy autumn night 1989. His flight from California was delayed 8 hours, so after changing into his stage clothes in the airport WC, Bob arrived onstage and, according to those present, "exploded with energy" at his first show in the UK. In that one night, Bob helped redefine in England what a solo concert with National guitars could be. Over the next few years, Bob deepened his understanding of British culture and the subtleties of its humor, developing a warm rapport with his audiences there.
Bob has toured the UK annually since 1989, covering thousands of miles and logging over 350 concerts and festivals, including several appearances at the WOMAD festivals. During the course of these tours, Bob had the pleasure of meeting nearly all of the British Blues, folk, and world music "mafias," especially the British resophonic guitar community.
