The BGP: General Info

Bio




THE FIRST TIME you hear the music of The BGP – you stop – head tilted to the side. You wonder, "What is this music?" Struggling to make sense of infectious grooves fused to smart melodies, your subconscious works to categorize what you are hearing into a genre – to no avail. You allow your curiosity to simmer. Then: You see The BGP live; and it all makes sense.

It’s no wonder The BGP’s unique brand of ‘suburban soul’ doesn’t jive with traditional musical classifications. White kids from quasi-ghetto suburbs (Hilltop, Spanaway, and Detroit), Brandon, Jeremiah, and Josh are adapted – even comfortable – in the margins of normality. "Be an individual – be ‘yourself’ unabashedly," says BGP frontman B. Ghorley. For The BGP, this message of individuality isn’t just a catch phrase: it’s been perfected into an art form.

In a rock-steady 3 year period, The BGP has taken their show on the road gaining significant notoriety as a coveted regional and national touring act. Inciting clapping and dancing throughout the Northwest, including some pretty notable venues (EMP SkyChurch, The Paradox, Tractor Tavern, and The Triple Door Mainstage to name a few), colleges, coffeehouses, bars, radio stations, and the like are picking up what The BGP is putting down.

THE FIRST TIME you hear the music of The BGP you will stop and wonder, "What is this music?" The rest of the time you will stop – musical classifications tossed to the margins of normality…and you will dance.
