The Brooklyn Holdouts to Perform at The Cock ‘n Bull, July 13th

GALWAY – On July 13th, The Cock ‘n Bull proudly welcomes The Brooklyn Holdouts to their patio stage. The funk and soul duo will surely deliver an amazingly entertaining night of music.

Guitarist Chris Bergson and organist Moses Patrou – two stellar, deeply soulful singers – have joined forces as The Brooklyn Holdouts. Drawing on the funky, feel-good, greasy, grooving organ trio tradition, The Brooklyn Holdouts seamlessly navigate Blues, R&B, Soul Jazz, Rock, and Americana. Alternating lead vocals, these two powerhouses are renowned songwriters drawing on their 20+ years on the New York scene, delivering “gut-busting NY blues.”

MOJO

Bergson and Patrou deliver original rollicking, witty, and spontaneous material. Their two voices have enormous character as they trade off singing songs with rich melodies/harmonies, tell-tale lyrics, and funky backbeat feels that drive the Blues guitar and Hammond soul organ trio, making the Brooklyn Holdouts an absolute must-see in 2023.

Hailed as “the New York street poet with a blues soul” (MOJO), Chris Bergson has been described by the UK’s Blues Magazine as “one of the most interesting blues-inspired songwriters…a kind of Edward Hopper of the blues.” ROLL Magazine writes: “Chris Bergson plays the kind of guitar you can build a house on – it’s B.B. meets Steve Cropper meets John Scofield.”  Offbeat Magazine describes Moses Patrou’s music as “…as if the Meters had gone to Memphis at their most potent point and gotten some of that Hi Records to shine. Swelling jazz organ, fat beats, and lots of souls.”
