After spending 22 years in downtown Wilmington, during which time he rekindled his music career to the delight of fans nationwide and earned the first Grammy Award nomination of his vaunted career, multi-instrumentalist David Bromberg is leaving Delaware.
Bromberg and his wife, artist/musician Nancy Josephson , are selling their four-story, 8,900-square-foot North Market Street home, which also houses a violin shop he established.
“It’s something we always kind of wanted to do: end up in New York,” Josephson, a New York native, says of their move, which will put them only a few blocks from Central Park. “We couldn’t believe we could get an apartment for what we got it for.
“People were dropping prices left and right. We lucked out.”
In the midst of the topsy-turvy pandemic, the artistic power couple purchased a 1,000-square-foot New York City apartment on 104th Street in Manhattan Valley in 2021 with Bromberg returning to the city where he first made his mark as a burgeoning talent during New York’s ’60s folk revival.
