Some of these songs constitute material from the new live album, 'RE.VERSIONS'. Others are included on the latest studio project, 'OURS IS THE TIME'. This album was produced by J Scott Bergman himself and hosts a diverse cast of players including keyboardist Zac Rae, bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen and drummer Ronnie Manaog. The title track to the album MAYBES ARE FADING can also be found here. All songs available at itunes and cdbaby.com. ................................................................................................................................................
J Scott Bergman was born in New Jersey and raised in Los Angeles. His words are often inspired by personal events and spiritual philosophy. Influenced musically by the likes of Nick Drake, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, and the Beatles, J Scott Bergman continues to evolve with mysteriously evocative songs of love and hope.
The latest studio longplayer, "OURS IS THE TIME," deals with a cast of characters in songs that demonstrate that no matter how diverse the human experience may be, we all essentially share the same core. Whether it be the pop icon in the song 'Icon' telling his fans to stop overanalyzing his lyrics, or the old man in his house on the hill reflecting on a life well spent in 'Milton's Offer', or the homeless character being observed in the song 'Lost Souls Communion', each person is
a flawed and beautiful human trying to make sense of his or her world. With pop sensibilities in full-force and guest appearances by musicians from Beck, Alanis Morissette and Fiona Apple’s touring and studio bands, the album covers a breadth of aural landscapes: a tapestry of folk, modern rock and bluesy jazz. The arrangements are solid yet purposefully sparse, letting the acoustic vibe and distinctive voice of the artist shine through.
Hey! Thanks for finding me and for the complements on my music. It was really nice to meet and talk with you the other day. I just listened to your music- it is awesome! And your voice is really amazing. I'll be back again to listen. Take care!

HEY, THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE THIS. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON OUR STOP-MOTION VIDEO FOR OUR SONG "MATRYOSHKA" (
"Russian Doll") FOR A LONG TIME AND WE ARE PROUD TO SAY IT'S FINALLY FINISHED!!!
We had fun making it and we hope you like it!
"Fontainebleau" Just love that tune and your awesome delivery. gutsy makes me want to get up and do something. "End Of The Year" Sweet tune the vibe brings me to the same emotional world as Dan Fogleberg's "Dancing Shoes" and The Beatle's "She's Leaving Home" don'know just something about it, pure and crystalline, lyrical with a relaxed meter that I have always strove for but seldom if ever attained. Just a good song that tells a story.
Well Mr. Bergman, What can one say "Fontainebleau" is just AWEsoMe, a musical roller coaster through the emotions with the story fully intact to the end of the ride. Inspiring musically, and your vocal delivery has even a dash of Mr. Plants pepper. hot stuff!!! "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!"
