Bio

Whether anchoring a horn section in a packed and sweaty club with an afro-rock band, playing with an international folk ensemble at major venues and festivals, or collaborating with dance and theater companies, Andy Bergman brings technical flair and versatile improvisation to a musical performance. Alongside the clarinet, saxophone, and other winds, he is also continuing to develop his own unique and progressive style of jaw harp playing, and is in the process of producing his first album of original compositions.
