The Bergamot
Interview
Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?
The Bergamot:
A big part of our music is the lyrical development and storytelling. We get a lot of that inspiration from old folk music. However, we see ourselves existing in the alternative/pop genre. So we are constantly finding ways to connect the two somehow. Sometimes it connects and sometimes it doesn't. Our job is to keep showing up...
Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
The Bergamot:
On October 20th, 2017 The Bergamot released the dreamy anthem P.D.R. (Both Records LLC). The single launched the band's career who was then discovered by Matt Wiggins (Adele, U2, Florence and the Machine) and achieved great reviews being called "The hottest emerging music talent" (People) and "a gorgeous sound" (Daily Mirror). Fans have discovered the band through an unbelievable series of music videos released to promote the new album "MAYFLIES". The videos have been heralded by music critics as "Lush" (PARADE) and "The Perfect Blend" (EARMILK). These groundbreaking videos have brought light to difficult topics and continued to build upon the band's momentum from "P.D.R.". The videos have garnered over 150k views on YouTube. Music blogs from all over the world have taken to "MAYFLIES". The band's single "L.A." has landed at the #1 spot on SubmitHub and the group looks to expand it's presence on the radio both domestically and abroad. The Bergamot was invited to open for OneRepublic and perform their first stadium show in early 2020. The Bergamot is composed of husband-wife duo Nathaniel Paul Hoff and Jillian Speece from the post-industrial town of South Bend, IN near the southeastern shores of serene Lake Michigan. The duo is all American sweethearts from the heartland. In a recent interview, Hoff states, "Jillian and I both look back fondly at our years growing up in Indiana." Growing up they both sang and performed in the church band. They pulled on influences ranging from Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Nick Drake, and Bob Dylan. The band's main writer Nathaniel discovered the literary genius of fellow midwestern poet Carl Sandberg and his work capturing the life and strain of American life. "The music and the songwriting itself is pinnacle" Hoff explained to Trend and Chaos (NYC). Telling the American story one word at a time the songs touch on many aspects of American life in 2019.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
The Bergamot:
I remember the first time playing at a coffeehouse in downtown South Bend called Higher Grounds. People had to stand on top of coffee tables to see the show. It changed my life. The cops showed up...
Nagamag:
What's your musical background?
The Bergamot:
We both studied music in college. I (Nathaniel) focused on classical guitar, music theory, and vocal development. Jillian focused primarily on the voice.
Nagamag:
What do you love doing besides music?
The Bergamot:
Jillian - making/eating food Nathaniel - Golf
Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?
The Bergamot:
12 Rods "24 Hours Ago"
Nagamag:

Christopher Ryan – A Little Bigger (Spotify)
Christopher Ryan is a songwriter from Denver, Colorado who has always had a passion for songs that groove. "A Little Biggers" upbeat vibe merges the heartfelt lyrics and acoustic sounds Christopher is known for with his love for a funky rhythm. The idea for this song came about after an encounter with a street painter who had lost his arms below the elbows. He painted by holding the paintbrush in his mouth. The encounter inspired the idea that we are capable of living our lives A Little Bigger despite our challanges and circumstances.
The single was recorded with Grammy Award winning producer Larry Mitchell while Christopher was in residency at the Atlantic Center for the Arts. The song was mastered in Boulder, Colorado by Grammy Award winner David Glasser.

Pasquale Gee – Sunsets in Park (Spotify)
Sunsets in Park' tells the story of how something as simple as an old car can act as a safe haven between two people. Long nights, watching the sun go down from a parked car is something that seems so poetic and symbolic at the same time. The warm synths, hard hitting drums and personal story telling make for a genre-bending nostalgic anthem.
Nervous City Nervous Self – Yesteryears (and the gloom) (Spotify)
Nervous City Nervous Self – Yesteryears (and the gloom) (Spotify)
”And the night paints its name on the walls in your room. Like the skyline of yesteryears and the gloom”.
Nervous City Nervous Self is back with the first single since ”Anthem” (2019) which was aired on Swedish National Radio (SR).
With the new release ”Yesteryears (and the gloom)" Nervous City Nervous Self brings forth an introspective song from the past, which fittingly enough also deals with the passing of time. Singer/songwriter David Josephson wrote the song in Berlin (yester)years ago in a sense of loss and confusion following a break-up, and it portrays a bewildered but rather clownlike character adrift in a foreign land. "Climb your mountain, put on your crown. Oh you say it´s all, but – hey! – it looks like none." The song later floated back into the wellspring from where it had appeared, and it was not until the isolation of the current pandemic that the song resurfaced in the songwriter’s mind and it was swiflty recorded at home; vocals, guitar - and a big reverb.
