Bob Brozman - Slide Guitar Workshop
  
 

Bob Brozman From a master of slide, fingerpicking, and percussive guitar

Calling aspiring blues guitarists everywhere - as part of the Bath Music Festival lineup, Invention Studios is proud to present a chance to learn up close from one of the great masters: Bob Brozman, a guitarist like no other. An established and prolific recording artist, performer, and producer, Bob is also a non-stop world traveller and tireless researcher in ethnomusicology. His work with musicians from around the world in the past several years has marked him as not only a virtuoso musician and renowned slide guitarist, but also as a pioneer in finding common ground between global musical cultures.

Redefining musical diversity, Bob Brozman is an artist whose wisecracking wit and musical technique combine to create an unforgettable live presence. Bob's exhilarating style spans the global musical spectrum, resonating with elements of blues, jazz, gypsy swing, calypso, sega, and even the most modern hip-hop and ska beats. Likewise, his chords and harmonies articulate an acute blend of timbres from Hawaiian, Indian, African, Japanese/Okinawan, Caribbean, and American roots blues. His fingerwork has been described in world press as "uniquely staggering, yet full of humour."

Bob maintains a nearly superhuman tour schedule throughout the year: live performance tours are a vital part of Bob's activity, in addition to his teaching practice. He tours constantly throughout North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa. International praise for Bob Brozman:

"The playing is dazzling, the dexterity and complexity is without parallel in this genre...every piece is packed with a compelling, humorous quality…It's what he does with his damn hands that had the audience in hysterics!"

- Folk Roots Magazine, London

"The thinking man's slide guitarist…with cynical humor added to incomparably graceful technique…pulling exquisite sonorities from his instrument."

- Guitar & Bass Magazine, France

"His incomparable intensity and unself-consciousness makes him a real joy…the easiest stage presence in any performer I've ever seen"

- Portland Evening Express, Maine

"Great genius and artistry."

- Guitar Magazine, Tokyo, Japan

Bob's reputation as a guitarist of the finest caliber, and as a man of warmth and wit, will be sure to translate into a terrific demonstration as he guides his students through slide and blues styles. Be sure to book early.
