The Bergamot originated in the Spring of 2009, out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Singer/Songwriter’s Jillian Speece and Nathan Hoff created the group after performing and writing music together for over seven years. Speece is known for her silky-smooth, soulful, and strong vocals, while Hoff’s dynamic guitar playing is full of intensity, passion, and effortlessness. Their genre is Pop/Organic Pop, and their sound is reminiscent of notable artists such as, Joni Mitchell, Sara Bareilles, James Taylor, The Weepies, Norah Jones, Lauryn Hill, Dave Matthews, Colbie Caillet, Joss Stone, Ingrid Michaelson, John Mayer, Regina Spektor, Natasha Bedingfield, and Feist, to name a few. The Bergamot's original songs are unforgettable and striking. Their live performances are both breathtaking and entertaining. Whether they are on stage as a duo - or a full band - their performances are impeccable start to finish. The Bergamot, duo Jillian Speece and Nathan Hoff, have been producing passionate, genuine, and heartfelt music for the last seven years. They are an American songwriting force. Their music is sweet to the ear, brilliantly organic, and bursting from the seams with color and vibrancy.
