    Guitarist and harmonica player Pat Bergeson has written, toured, and recorded with many of his musical heroes. Beginning at the University of Illinois in his home state, he moved on to New York City and picked up a Jazz Studies degree at William Paterson University. After playing in New York for ten years, he moved to Nashville upon the request of Chet Atkins who heard Pat on a demo tape. Chet invited him to play on his album "Sneakin' Around" with Jerry Reed, and later featured Pat's guitar and compositions on his 1994 release Read My Licks. They were good friends and toured together for several years.

    Asheville, NC January 29th-- If you like quick, observational based humor, Greg Brown does not disappoint. His awkwardly cool 6’5” frame and hip glasses set the tone for his cerebral jokes, and he performs regularly at numerous classy joints around town, including the Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival, The Grove Park Inn and The Orange Peel. Brown stumbled into comedy the same year he created The Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival.

    California Guitar Trio
    Andromeda

    Do you enjoy New Age or ambient instrumental music, but find most of it to be boring, bland and way too repetitive? If so, the California Guitar Trio has what you really want! CGT is Paul Richards of Salt Lake City, Utah; Bert Lams of Affligem, Belgium; and Hideyo Moriya of Chiba, Japan.
     
    To classify Andromeda as ambient instrumental music really doesn't do the album justice. It might have an ambient feel for the first few seconds (and at other times over the course of the album, such as on the track “Turn of the Tide”). But the music generally evolves quickly into something different, and continues to surprise the listener throughout.

    Why?

    Why, given the rich baritone that can range from languid to intense, from reverently hushed to brashly bombastic, did it take so long?

    Obviously, he’s no stranger to music. He is the man who loaned out his initials to Robinella and the CCstringband, which flirted with national fame a few years ago with a hit (“Man Over”) on Country Music Television and an appearance on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” in 2003. Maybe it took a while for him to find his voice – not the literal one, the one that makes you think of Randy Travis or Dan Tyminski or even the great Ralph
