J Scott Bergman was born in New Jersey and raised in Southern California. His music is often inspired by personal events and spiritual philosophy. Described as exceptional pop rock songwriting with an acoustic vibe, it's understated with a very distinctive vocal style. Influenced by David Gray, Nick Drake, Bono, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, and the Beatles, J Scott Bergman continues to evolve with mysteriously evocative songs of love and hope.
At times soulful and sonically more dynamic than it's predecessors, the latest album "Ours Is The Time," is a sort of meditation on the significance or insignificance of time illustrated through characters that mirror various states of the human condition. With pop sensibilities in full-force and guest appearances by musicians from Beck, Alanis Morissette and Fiona Apple’s touring and studio bands, the album covers a breadth of aural landscapes: a thoughtfully woven tapestry of folk, modern rock, bluesy jazz, and lush romantic ballads. The arrangements are solid columns of sound, yet purposefully sparse: letting the acoustic vibe and distinctive voice of the artist shine through.
Released in 2008, "Ours Is The Time" is available at itunes, CDBaby and at http://www.jscottbergman.com . J Scott Bergman releases his material through his own independent "Bergmusic" label.
