Bergman
Family
Last
spring Bruce and Deb Bergman joined forces with Marg Tatum and
her fiddle. All three are longtime performers and instructors
in the Whitehorse music scene. They soon found themselves
anchored on the upright bass by Rob Bergman, who was living
and playing in the Victoria area. The resulting music camp and
festival experience was an unforgettable one, and all are
excited to be back this year. Listen up for more old time and
bluegrass flavoured Bergman favourites.

Marg
Tatum
Marg
has been playing and teaching music here in the Yukon since
the early 1980's. Having received classical instruction in
both the piano and violin, she took the solid technical
foundations from that training and applied it to many various
musical traditions outside the classical repertoire from Folk
and Country music, through Irish Traditional, to Rock, Rhythm
and Blues, Jazz and Bluegrass. She has become a frequent
performer at the Kluane Mountain Bluegrass Festival with
various groups over the years - Barndance, Simple Messengers,
Deja Blue, and the Bergman Family Band.
