John Bergstrom

“Born and raised in the L.A. area” doesn’t usually sound like the opening line for a cowboy singer. That is, however, where John Bergstrom got his start. You can almost smell the campfire as he spins his ballads about life, heroes and bad guys in the west. John is a regular at the Autry National Center and western events around Southern California. A singer/song writer of western songs, his first CD, "Western State of Mind" has been receiving attention in several countries. His latest CD, “Throw Down the Box,” has been received with enthusiasm by his fans. His ballad, “Tiburcio Vasquez,” was featured at the California Institute of the Arts and his tale about the “St. Francis Dam,” was on Santa Clarita Television as a video. His latest CDs, are available on CDBaby.com and at Outwest Marketing.com You can get a taste of his music at MySpace and at his his website www.Johnbergstrom.net

Fans’and reviewers’ comments

“… I got the CD. My husband and I really like it!! I was really curious to what “cowboy music” was and now I realize it’s the kind of country I like! I’m not so much in to pop country…. I LOVE the guitar in his music! AWESOME! My 8 year old daughter likes it too. She wanted to know if I got his autograph (how cute). Thanks so much! We are really enjoying it!” Desta, Mooresville, No. Carolina.
