Concert: Marc Berger

"Marc Berger may strike some as an artistic and cultural anomaly--at least at first. He's an Eastern born artist who's thoroughly steeped in the musical lore of the American West, genuinely so. There are no false notes--musically OR textually--on his CD release RIDE. In smaller live venues such as ours, he may do a more stripped down version of the songs from that release, and while those familiar with the fuller arrangements of the recorded versions might miss the rich textures of same, they'll soon find themselves fully captivated by the more intimate, leaner versions of these remarkable songs. Indeed the starker arrangements throw his sharp, evocative lyrics into vivid relief.

A thoroughly engaging performer, Marc's between song "stage banter" went well beyond the witty patter of many musical performers. He is certainly capable of telling an amusing yarn, but what makes his performances especially appropriate for a library setting are the cultural, topographical and often quite literary references he makes. He provides as sharp a portrait of the American West as any contemporary singer-songwriter--whether native to the region or not. Marc Berger is the real deal." -Gregory Callahan, Director, Hyde Park Free Library (Hyde Park, NY)
