Grace Bergere in Tompkins Square Park

Local singer-songwriter Grace Bergere was part of a stellar Show Brain concert in Tompkins Square Park this past Sunday. 

She continues to make a name for herself, opening for acts this past summer such as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the Beacon Theater, Gogol Bordello on a California tour, and Jim Jarmusch and Jozef Van Wissem at Le Poisson Rouge. 

Bergere was one of Casa Gogol's first two signees (along with Puzzled Panther). Label head Eugene Hütz (Gogol Bordello) said of the two bands: "To me they are the new New York, which has a lot more in common with that magical old New York we know, and none of that bullshit in the middle." (To that end, she recorded a cover of "All Tomorrow's Parties" with Thurston Moore for Casa Gogol's NYContinuity Vol. 1 release.)

    I was sitting in the park when they were warming up from their rain-delayed start. I was going to leave to get away from the noise level, but one of her songs pulled me over to listen instead!
