At 21, I was on Broadway — playing piano in the original production of Earl of Ruston in 1971. It was that whirlwind of a season that sent me back to Louisiana, doubled-down on songwriting, and really set my path. Get lost in those early sounds + archives at johnbergeron.com

I uploaded several of my videos to my YouTube channel today. Here's one from a tribute to Ray Charles I made a few years back -as time passed and I developed my musical style I tend to say that Bill Evans and Ray Charles taught me to play the piano- hope you enjoy my piano work: youtu.be/l02s15uxd3Q

I’ve loved Famous Blue Raincoat for years. When I recorded it, I didn’t try to change it—just to honor Leonard Cohen’s words and add my own voice to the silence between them. #leonardcohen #johnbergeron

My good friend Merel Bregante—who's known me since the '60s—wrote this about Jesus My Lord:

“A soul-stirring worship song that echoes the storms and triumphs of John’s lifelong journey with music and faith.”

Humbled. Grateful. Now at #1. open.spotify.com/track/3sHC4U...

Sometimes a song comes along that feels like a prayer. “Jesus My Lord” is one of those for me—a piece written from the heart, in the quiet moments at the piano, thinking about gratitude. If you feel like joining me for a few minutes of peace, here’s the song:

One of my biggest inspirations is Leonard Cohen. Folks often talk about Dylan (and rightfully so), but Cohen had a poetry and soul that spoke to me. I've had the honor to play at a festival celebrating his work, and I was reminded how songwriting can change a life-- starting with mine! #leonardcohen
