In Memoriam: Nate Berg (Bones of Brundage, Jerry's Pizza, HWY 58)
Nate Berg was a veteran Bakersfield music promoter known for booking and promoting punk rock and alternative rock shows inside the Jerry's Pizza basement in downtown Bakersfield in the nineties and early 2000's. In the coming years, Berg also began filming and producing a small string of independent documentary films focused on central valley's punk rock scene - "Floradora: All Ages on a Thousand Stages", "Bones of Brundage", "A Punk Side Story," and his most recent "HWY 58" series chronicling hidden figures from the history of The Bakersfield Sound. Berg passed suddenly on Jan. 18th, 2024 following a brief illness. In this episode, Bakersfield musician Cesareo Garasa, who wrote a memorial piece on Berg, shares his memories and thoughts on Berg's legacy. Episode contains audio from KGET17, Bakersfield, CA.
