On the Record: Pat Bergeson Interview

Hello Everyone! Thank you so much for checking out another episode of my little interview series, "On the Record." This is a personal project of mine that I decided to start where I talk to people in the music and guitar industry about their business models, their feelings on the music industry in general, their thoughts on music professionalism, and just music in general!
This episode I sat down with the incredible Nashville guitarist and harmonica player Pat Bergeson. We met up at our friend Richard Smith's recording studio just outside of Nashville on an incredibly rainy day in July 2021, and hunkered down for what turned out to be a fantastic interview. During the editing process of this video, I kept picking up on more and more little stories and pieces of advice -- Pat is a treasure trove of information and it was an honor to get to meet with him.

I was in the percussion section the day Pat Bergeson walked into class in 1973. Nicest guy, one of the smartest guys and by far the most talented guy in the room - which was obvious to everyone. I bet if Pat wanted to pick up the sticks and practice a little he would be a world class drummer along with all his other enormous musical talents. Pat and I were in the band together through High School and he never ceased to musically amaze. He has a great sense of humor, was fun to be around, made it exciting to play and he made everyone around him better attempting to keep up. God Bless you Pat. Hope you and family are doing well, and wishing you ongoing success.

Great to hear about your growing career and miss seeing you around the neighborhood since you moved.

Pat is another great player. One of the finest and most versatile.

[@CodyJungGuitar]

So true. He’s such a diverse player, but he’s fantastic at every genre and instrument he touches. It’s unreal!

Ooh, I'm excited you're putting up more interviews!!

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Me too! I have two more coming after Pat’s, and I’m very excited about both of them! They’re already filmed, just need edits!

Love Pat Bergeson and have not seen many interviews with him. So glad you have done this. Enjoying the content a great deal.

[@CodyJungGuitar]

Thank you! Glad to hear about another person on Team Pat! He’s such a fantastic guy, and talk about a killer player! I wish we would have had more time to play together at the end. Hopefully we can book a show together soon so I have more time to try and steal a couple of his licks! Haha. Thanks so much for watching!!

Alison Krauss and Annie Sellick. Pat obviously has higher standards than me. My two wives were a tinker and a trollop.
