On his latest record, Comforts of Home (2 Shirts / CRS) singer/songwriter/guitarist Chris Bergson celebrates family, both biological and chosen. Bergson’s “chosen” family is the extended musical family he has been a part of for the last 20 years, the band MOJO Magazine has described as “gut-busting, horn bedecked NY blues.” Comforts of Home captures the Chris Bergson Band in its new lineup with Ellis Hooks on vocals, Moses Patrou on keyboards/vocals, bassist Clohesy, groovemaster drummer Diego Voglino. Recorded live at Brooklyn’s Grand Street Recording, most of Bergson’s vocals and blazing guitar were done in complete live takes.

“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 as "the New York street poet with a blues soul" (MOJO) and "one of the most inventive songwriters in modern blues music," (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...From 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 Matt Wilson.) The Chris Bergson Band’s 2007 album Fall Changes, recorded at The Band drummer Levon Helm’s studio in Woodstock, New York, was named MOJO Magazine’s Number One 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 also an Associate Professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston where he teaches guitar and songwriting.
