Bob Brozman, the steel-guitar innovator who got his start playing on the streets of Santa Cruz, died at age 59, on April 23, 2013.
A legend in the world of blues and roots music, who integrated styles from around the world, Brozman was one of the world’s most beloved musical figures
His uniquely bold playing style and banter with the audience gave him the opportunity not just to entertain with his sharp wit, but also challenge core assumptions about the function of rhythm and sound. Brozman was a world traveller who thrived on collaborating with the best musicians he could find from many different musical traditions.
Bob Brozman's family and friends desire to carry out Bob’s vision in the creation of a foundation, Global
Music Aid, to help third-world musicians obtain instruments, strings, tuning gears, and basic recording equipment.
