Guitar
I give up trying to keep up with Brad Brose. Go on, you try: Google, youtube, the works. You’ll find so much in so many different places. Here’s Brad on resonator guitar, on tenor banjo, on selmac, on an old archtop. Here’s Brad in Spain, in Switzerland, in Italy, in Belgium; in New York, in California, in Saratoga, in the Pacific northwest.
Thing is, he’s always playing in good company and always playing good music. Recent projects include this album with violinist Adrien Chevalier, and gigs with Sweet Tooth Jazz Band. In this rooftop video Brad demos not only exquisite technique, but how to overdrive your amp à la late Django.
Though he started joining us by trekking east from California, Brad then headed to Europe for several years where he served admirably as a Django in June goodwill ambassador, talent scout and bilingual fixer. He played a lot there, with lots of people, and made it look easy. It’s not. Meeting and working with Brad is, though, at Django in June.
