Chris Bergson and Ellis Hooks

“The music of Chris Bergson and Ellis Hooks is genuine Delta soul blues...The soulful voice of Hooks is reminiscent of the great soul men like Sam Cooke and Otis [Redding] and together with Chris, he turns it into a true party.” - Blues Magazine (NL)

New York Blues Hall of Famer Chris Bergson and acclaimed soul singer Ellis Hooks bring their "gut-busting NY blues" (MOJO) to Jimmy's Jazz &amp; Blues Club on Thursday, May 22. Glide Magazine calls them "a modern-day blues-infused Sam and Dave." Bergson is an Associate Professor at Berklee College of Music whose guitar work has been hailed as a "masterclass in subtlety and sophistication," (Blues Matters, UK) "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) Bergson is an accomplished sideman who has performed with such luminaries as Norah Jones, Levon Helm, Hubert Sumlin, The Blues Project and Bernard Purdie and opened for B.B. King and Etta James. Bergson and Hooks have toured extensively in Europe including performing at France's celebrated Cognac Blues Passions Festival and will be performing music from their latest album Comforts of Home which garnered Four Stars in MOJO and was named one of Soul Bag magazine's Best Albums of 2024. They'll be joined by an ace band of New England blues/roots veterans featuring Bruce Bears on piano/organ, Jesse Williams on bass and Mark Teixeira on drums who have collectively performed with Duke Robillard, the North Mississippi All-Stars, Little Milton, John Hammond and Al Kooper.
