“Upon first hearing guitar man Chris Bergson and his gravely southern drawl, which is a combination of Levon Helm and Gregg Allman, you can hardly believe this guy is from New York City… An artist dedicated to bringing blues and classic R&B into the future while honoring the past.” – No Depression
"A kind of Edward Hopper of the blues." - The Blues Magazine (UK)
“Chris Bergson possesses that rare ability to make the streets of New York converse with the deep history of the blues. As a guitarist, singer, songwriter, educator, sought-after sideman, and respected bandleader, he has established himself over three decades as one of the most distinctive voices on the American music scene.“
- ZICAZIC (France)

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.)
