How David got to Broadway

From the Columbus Dispatch:

The road to Memphis - just announced to tour Columbus next season - was a long one for musician David Bryan.

"It took me eight years to get to Broadway, so for me it doesn’t feel like an explosion. It feels like a slow burn," Bryan said.

A founding musician with Bon Jovi who continues to tour with the gold-record group, Bryan made his Broadway debut last season as composer of the bluesy and rockin' score of the 2010 Tony winner for best musical.

So how did a guy who grew up in New Jersey, studied classical music for 15 years, played in a 10-piece band as a teenager and toured the world as a rocker wind up winning the 2010 Tony award for best score in his Broadway debut?

It's a long story, but Bryan was happy to share it in a Dispatch interview.

It's a good read. Head over to the Dispatch and check it out!
