David Broza and Townes Van Zandt. Fort Worth and Tel Aviv. You couldn’t find a more unlikely candidate to adapt Townes’ final lyrics to song. Born in Haifa, Israel and a resident of Tel Aviv, David Broza was educated in Israel, Spain and Britain, and known primarily in the USA, Spain and Israel as a balladeer. As a multi-platinum artist, over the past three decades, Broza has jockeyed multiple music careers as an international artist, releasing records in Hebrew, Spanish and English.

Over the years Broza has been a soldier, a peace activist and one of the founders of the Israeli peace group PEACE NOW. He is a teacher, a singer/songwriter, an artist-in-residence at Bennington College in Vermont, an ambassador of goodwill for UNICEF and has literally circled the globe numerous times performing his music. American audiences are probably most familiar with Broza after he released the David Broza at Masada DVD in 2007, featuring Jackson Browne and Shawn Colvin.
