Some musicians must speak for themselfs to be heard - but that is not the case of Chris Bergson. In fact, every critique, star, or just blues lover will say a bit about his talent, phenomenal play or just sweet lyrics. But let's speak the papers:

"Four stars - another bulletin from the New York street poet with a blues soul...the music is as tight as a hangman's knot." MOJO, #3 Blues Album of 2014

"The Chris Bergson Band sets a bold new standard for roots music..." Hittin' the Note

"From blazing rock to funk to soul to Delta blues and all that's in between." Elmore Magazine

"Authentic but not stifled by tradition...Bergson is the classic triple threat." Jambands.com

"Over the past decade, Chris Bergson has become one of the most interesting blues-inspired songwriters. He describes the streetscapes and nightscapes of city life, painting small, memorable pictures, a kind of Edward Hopper of the blues. Bergson doesn't do predictable, but there's a visible thread of blues awareness running through the fabric of everything he writes, sings and plays: he is a concise and subtle guitarist and tough, grainy singer." The Blues Magazine (UK)

Born in New York City but raised in Somerville, Massachusetts, Chris Bergson returned to Manhattan in 1995. While backing jazz singers Annie Ross, Dena DeRose, Sasha Dobson and Norah Jones, he released Blues for Some Friends of Mine and Wait for Spring on Juniper Records in 1997 and 2000,

respectively. In 2002 Bergson was appointed a Jazz Ambassador of the USA by the John F. Kennedy

Center for the Performing Arts and he toured Africa with his trio. Evolving to further embrace the blues while also adding pop influences, he followed up with Blues (2003), Another Day (2005) and his

triumphant artistic breakthrough, the widely acclaimed Fall Changes (2007) -- MOJO’s #1 Blues Album of 2008 -- that established him as an eloquent, evocative and lyrical songwriter with a sharp urban vision. Recorded at Levon Helm’s Woodstock studio, it led to Bergson being personally invited to perform at the famed drummer’s Midnight Rambles while opening the way for more stateside festivals and subsequent tours of Europe. The Chris Bergson Band's next studio album Imitate the Sun (2011) was named MOJO’s #2 Blues Album of 2011 and their latest CD Live at Jazz Standard (2014) was named MOJO’s #3 Blues Album of 2014.

 And now he's finally in Reduta to play his sweet blues to all of us who loves the music.
