Chris Bergson is an internationally acclaimed American-born guitarist, singer, and songwriter. “Chris Bergson plays the kind of guitar you can build a house on—it’s B.B. meets Steve Cropper meets John Scofield,” notes ROLL Magazine. Hailed as “the New York street poet with a blues soul” by MOJO Magazine and “one of the most inventive songwriters in modern blues music,” by All Music Guide, Bergson is best known as the leader of the Chris Bergson Band. Elmore Magazine calls the Chris Bergson Band “one of the most talented bands playing today, whose soulful blend of American Roots music encompasses "blazing rock to funk to soul to Delta blues and all that’s in between.” Bergson is also an accomplished sideman who has performed with luminaries across a wide range of genres, including pop and rock (Norah Jones, Levon Helm), blues and soul (Hubert Sumlin, Bernard Purdie) and jazz (Annie Ross, Al Foster, and Larry Grenadier.) The Chris Bergson Band’s 2007 album Fall Changes, recorded at Levon Helm’s studio in Woodstock, New York, was named MOJO Magazine’s no. 1 blues album of the year in 2008. Bergson was inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame as a master blues artist in 2015. Bergson is a D’Addario artist and plays McCurdy guitars.
