Riding atop the wave of resurgent folk-rock David Berkeley has gained critical acclaim and a loyal following with his soulful, melodic voice and the vivid poetry of his songcrafting. Earthy, tender, and unpredictable, his lyrics are full of reflective moments, enticing details, and emotional impact, whether they're panoramic historical studies or intimate life portraits. As Creative Loafing magazine put it, "Berkeley crafts his songs like watercolor paintings. Intimate and introspective, his gentle yet colorful melodies resonate long after the last note fades." David is a recent recipient of ASCAP's prestigious Johnny Mercer Songwriter Award.

Folk/power-pop/indie trio Common Rotation, (with an appearance by their good friend Dan Bern), open the show.
