Chris Bergson is an internationally acclaimed 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.” (ROLL Magazine) Hailed by jazz guitar master Jim Hall as being "among the best of the young jazz guitarists," and by MOJO as "the New York street poet with a blues soul," Bergson is best known as the leader of the Chris Bergson Band. Bergson has performed with luminaries across a wide range of genres including Norah Jones, Annie Ross, Al Foster, Levon Helm, Hubert Sumlin, Bernard Purdie and The Blues Project. Bergson was appointed a Jazz Ambassador of the USA by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and toured eight countries in West Africa with his trio. Bergson was inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame as a Master Blues Artist in 2015 and has performed at top festivals and clubs across the U.S. and Europe. Bergson is also an Associate Professor of guitar at Boston's Berklee College of Music.
