If you can imagine Jack Johnson playing while Adele sings a jazzed-up version of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” then you’re just beginning to tap into The Bergamot’s signature sound. Jillian has earned instant comparisons to the voices of Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin, and Eva Cassidy, perfectly complementing Nathan’s vocal and guitar style, reminiscent of Dave Matthews and James Taylor. Classically trained, Nathan is a multi-faceted artist, fulfilling an impressive array of roles – including singing, multi-instrumentalist, studio engineer, producer, and musical arranger.

The Bergamot calls their exploratory musical style “Organic Pop,” and they describe their sound as a genre that “integrates catchy melodies and strong rhythms with the presence of an intimate, non-processed sound.” Their goal is to create music that flows naturally, without the pretenses found in mainstream pop music. Stylistically, they are pop infused with rock, jazz, and a touch of Motown. Pair that retro feel with some lovely lyrical imagery and you’ve got a fresh, fervent sound that bursts at the seams.
