Guy Bergeron
After going electric and trying several different local blues and rock cover bands to varying degrees of obscurity (Via Satelite, Smith Row, Skinless Frank & The Foot-Longs), Guy migrated back to his acoustic roots, and began to gather a solid local following as a solo performer, entertaining with his percussive, quirky mix of blues, classic rock covers, and his own songs. Thats how it is done to current times.
Guy's two self released CD’s on Walking Bear Records have sold over 30 copies since 2003, and his recorded work has been featured in the TV shows “Trailer Fabulous” and MTV’s “Made”. Also listen for some of Guy's music as a backdrop to the IndieWomanMagazine blog site, and some local Independent films.
About The Music
People think of the guitarist singer songwriter, typically they think of folks like David Gray, Dan Fogelberg, John Mayer...you know the type. Some sensitive dude in a strumming softly and whimpering about his feelings near the fireplace. This Guy ain’t nothing like that.
These guitar-propelled tunes are typically tinted on the blue side, musically speaking. Elements of Blues and the occasional Twang are nailed together with a Rock ’n’ Roll sensibility.
Talk, talk...It's difficult for me to describe my own stuff. Heres a link for your listening pleasure:

Also, check out the Reviews page, other people have done a better job than me of defining what I do. I just cant think about it that much or I'll lose my steam. My favorite descriptive term for my style is "genre defying musical anomaly". Hey, I didnt make this up.
Guy Live:
A fair warning, I will be booking live gigs again in 2010, and am working hard to fill up the calendar for the coming year, all over Massachusetts and beyond.
I throw down the music with as simple a rig as can be done, and making pretty sounds by practicing my instrument, not with a bunch of gizmos and frogwash. There's enough of that elsewhere.
Anything else is glorified karaoke, and we will have none of that, thank you very much.
I look forward to winding it up again out on the patio of the New England Steakhouse in Mendon, MA., come the warmer weather, as well as some newfound winter gigs at a great little pub in Worcester, the Canal Sports Pub. I found a great new spot in Warren, MA. called Cakettes, killer acoustics in there and they really want to kick off the music over there on Saturday nights. I'll be in there soon as well.
Also hunting down some new venues and booking some functions and parties to fill up the calendar this coming year. I hope to see you out there!
CD's, Where To Get Them:Guy's 2 releases on his own microlabel, Walking Bear Records, are available on CD and digitally through CD Baby and all their fine affiliates. You can also hear clips of some original songs from this link, for both CD's.
