Biography:
In the blue collar town of Tacoma, Washington, a patchwork of friendships forged in adolescence somehow managed to weather the storms of life. What resulted is THE BGP. Describing themselves as a 'modern Hall & Oates,' THE BGP merges session musicianship with a childlike joy for making music. The upshot is a soulful dance party that recalls a simpler time and place.
Though the band is officially a trio (Brandon Ghorley, Dustin Blatnik, and Josh Demorow), THE BGP regularly employs a supporting cast of musicians from around the country.
