The Chris Bergson Band with special guest Ellis Hooks will be recording Live at Jazz Standard on Tuesday, June 25th and Wednesday, June 26th.
With MOJO Magazine's #1 Blues Album of 2008, Fall Changes, and #2 Blues Album of 2011, Imitate the Sun, New York guitarist/singer Chris Bergson has established himself as "one of the most inventive songwriters in modern blues music." (Richard Skelly, All Music Guide). Chris Bergson has performed and/or shared the stage with Hubert Sumlin, Levon Helm, John Hammond, Little Sammy Davis, Etta James, Bettye LaVette, Annie Ross, Norah Jones, Al Foster, and Matt Wilson, to name just a few. MOJO's Tony Russell calls Bergson "a powerful spirit with flavours of Ray Charles and Tom Waits..." and writes of the band that "These guys could strip down the engine of a soulbluesmobile and put it back together blindfold."...
