"Bergson and Hooks have become a modern-day blues-infused Sam and Dave." - Glide Magazine

“Bergson's guitar work is a masterclass in subtlety and sophistication..." - Blues Matters (UK)
HELP BRING OG BACK IN 2025We want to bring back OG for a 6th season in 2025! But to do that we MUST rebuild our Musician Guarantee Fund, which allows us to pay a minimum respectful fee when crowd donations don't suffice (often). We need to raise $10,000, which will make possible 60, yes SIXTY, concerts next year, with all money flowing directly into the pockets of working local musicians. |
