CBB’s fourth consecutive critically
acclaimed release was ranked MOJO
Magazine’s #3 Blues Album of 2017.
Chris Bergson Band
“Authentic but not stifled by tradition…Bergson is the classic triple threat.” – Jambands.com
"The album closes with Gowanus Heights, a flag-waver with descriptive lyrics and killer guitar solo, percolating rhythm section, and regal blasts from the horn section. Bergson and band sent the crowd home, satisfied and dancing on the streets of Manhattan.” –Living Blues
“One of the most inventive songwriters in modern blues music” (All Music Guide)
A NY Blues Hall of Fame Inductee, "Chris Bergson plays the kind of guitar you can build
a house on - it's B.B. meets Steve Cropper meets John Scofield." ROLL Magazine. And he has filled that house, with top shelf musicians who’ve been
called “one of the most talented bands playing today…from blazing rock to funk to soul to Delta blues and all that’s in between.” -Elmore Magazine. Chris Bergson Band’s virtuosic musicianship seamlessly marries inventive songwriting with electrifying improvisation, creating unforgettable live shows.
Chris Bergson Band has sold out renowned venues such as NYC’s Jazz Standard, become a festival favorite, and have individually shared stages and studios with greats such as Levon Helm, Norah Jones, Hubert Sumlin, and B.B. King, to name a few. Bitter Midnight, whose track list includes songs inspired by Bergson’s successful 10 country European tour, features guest artists such as drummer Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors), bassists Richard Hammond (Santana), and Andy Hess (Gov’t Mule), and acclaimed vocalist extraordinaire Ellis Hooks (Steve Cropper). At the heart of it all is the “New York street poet with a blues soul.” (MOJO)
