SPECTRIS has defined itself as one of New England’s premiere Progressive bands. Their first CD was well received by local critics and on-air personalities alike leading to major gigs including an opening stint for the legendary BADFINGER and headlining the massive HARLEY RENDEZVOUS bike rally in Pattersonville, New York. After undergoing a personnel change in late 2005, SPECTRIS founders Todd Westfall and Christopher Bergmann successfully continued to keep the band alive and functioning-And with the addition of bassist Josh Mosher (Curst, Kaos) in the summer of 2007, all the pistons are firing once again. SPECTRIS performed only two times in 2006- 93.9 & 101.7's successful “ROCK THE WHALE” festival at Whaleback Mountain in Enfield, New Hampshire, and a high-profile show at the world-famous LOWELL BREWERY in Lowell Massachusetts hosted by NewEars, the New England Art Rock Society. The band was joined by Bassist Wade Mullins for those shows. Recently, the band joined local favorites STONEWALL for an opening gig with national act BRAND NEW SIN. SPECTRIS’s new album, INDUSTRY, has a decidedly darker, heavier sound than their previous Album, and along with some unbelievable new artwork by Todd, it marks the next phase in SPECTRIS’s evolution as a leading creative force in modern Progressive rock and metal.
Of course, there is also the other side of SPECTRIS-Playing bars and clubs around New England and New York with a setlist of classic and modern rock that is sure to please! For a complete songlist, click on the "SPECTRISsongs" link on the left!
CHRISTOPHER BERGMANN BORN: Bellows Falls, VT Playing music since age 2, Chris has mastered several instruments including brass and woodwind instruments, piano, drums, and others. After moving to Vermont from Boston at age 12, he started playing guitar and almost immediately started a band with present day SPECTRIS member TODD WESTFALL. Chris moved back to Boston after high school and played in several bands including Jazzin’ Hell, Dreamstreet, Roxx, and acoustic duet Apriori Statement. He returned to Vermont in 1996 and soon after rejoined Todd to start writing and rehearsing new material, much of which would become songs performed and recorded by SPECTRIS. Chris's influences include Brian May, David Gilmour, Martin Barre, Alex Lifeson, Al DiMeola, Steve Howe, Gary Green, Ian Crighton, Steve Hackett, Robert Fripp, Allan Holdsworth and Jerry Garcia.
Todd learned the basics of drumming from his older brother John, who had returned home from the service when Todd was in grade 7. He bought his first drum set for a mere $100 and played that kit for more than 20 years. In high school, Todd and Chris played together but it wasn’t until several years later that they were in a position to pursue music seriously. Todd's influences include Neil Peart, Vinnie Appice, Sib Hasian-He admires such modern drummers as Dan Carey, Matt McDonough, Lars Ulrich, and Shawn Drover.
