This year's Winterfest was capped by a sold out performance by U2 clones the Joshua Tree and an awesome fireworks display that ignited the downtown night life. During the day, however, it was the soup competition that brought the crowds. And as an added bonus, it was great to see and hear local folk/rocker Brian Bergeron keeping them entertained as they sampled the offerings. Looking very relaxed, the amicable Bergeron played a mix of covers and originals to an appreciative audience. No surprise...he has honed his craft as a street performer in Fanueil Hall for the past two summers and is rapidly becoming a favorite in the all important college market. Last year he shared the stage with Matt Nathanson and Collective Soul to name a few.
Friday, March 13th, Brian celebrates the release of his first full length studio album at the Lilypad in Inman Square, Cambridge. Brian will be joined by his band of talented musicians, The Late Greats as well as special guests, Cahill. Should be a great show. The Lilypad is a small 100 seat performance space so get your tickets early.
