Redefining musical diversity worldwide, Bob Brozman is a remarkably prolific artist whose wit,
energy, and musical technique combine powerfully to create an unforgettable live performance.
A master of slide, fingerstyle, and percussive guitar, Bob's exhilarating show spans the global
and musical spectrum, and keeps audiences enthralled, begging for more of his endearing,
infectious energy. Bob's familiarity with diverse world music cultures produces a novel blending
of rhythmic and timbral influences, unparalleled in today's musical environment. His rhythmic
dexterity resonates 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 humor. Bob has a collection of hand-tricks that
make audiences look for electronic effects that in fact don't exist: his show is the clean product
of acoustic genius.
Bob's disarming talent for humor and rapport invariably adds spice to his already well-seasoned
repertoire of music. A lifelong study of ethnomusicology and the global migration of musical styles
ensures Bob's committed attention and respect to each of the cultures in his repertoire. He casually
shares historical facts with his audiences, and charms them with his ability to integrate local
languages into his show: over the years, Bob has taught himself useful phrases in over 30 languages,
which he regularly uses - both on stage and off.
