Bio
John Bergeron
Bio Bayou
John Bergeron has something I’ve always wanted. Well, actually two things. The uncanny ability to somehow get through life using both the right and left sides of his brain is not only bewildering and downright amazing to me, but I must admit, it makes me a little jealous. Allow me to explain. Bergeron boasts two invaluable talents. He is a brilliant engineer, able to master complicated recording equipment. And, somehow, he still manages to entrance your heart and mind with his beautiful and original music.
Originally from Thibodaux, Louisiana, Bergeron was only five when he began studying music. By age thirteen, he was already composing music in a town where Hank Williams Senior found himself musically inspired. Williams penned the well-known ‘Jambalaya’ on a vacation in Thibodaux in 1949, the same year Bergeron was introduced to the world.
The nearby city of New Orleans would serve as an obvious catalyst for Bergeron’s music. He attended Tulane University in the Crescent City to study electrical engineering. It was here he found a way to combine his two talents, learning the intricacies of a mixing board and how to use such equipment to further his own musical career.
After college, things got pretty exciting for Bergeron. In 1973, the young artist received an offer to record for Famous Music’s Tumbleweed Records. This sent him on another musical adventure, off to London to record and learn from Robin Geoffrey Cable. Ca
