Berkley Hart

Berkley Hart have found something that works. We have seen and heard them live three times over the past few years at showcase events for presenters like us and for their musical peers.  We are glad they have finally found their way to Música Del Río.  The combination of Kerrville Folk Festival award winner, Jeff Berkley, and stand-out wordsmith, Calman Hart, creates a pairing that has become one of the premier acoustic duos touring the country today.  They are coming to our house and they are a fine closure for our season.

Every Berkley Hart concert is truly engaging as this duo combines their natural down home humor with poignant, delicate, masterfully crafted lyrics delivered with stunning harmony and musicianship. Between songs, the obvious camaraderie between these two top songwriters shines as they effortlessly play off each other in what can only be called genuine comedy.  Add in virtuoso playing from both Jeff Berkley (guitar) and Calman Hart (guitar, harmonica) and it’s easy to see why the two have become house concert favorites.

With their 6th studio album, “Crow,” the duo explore the ups and downs of life in song. Much like how the crow symbolizes despair and darkness in some cultures, while in others it is a harbinger of hope and light, this contrast fits the yin and yang of the songs on “Crow” both musically and lyrically, and thus inspired the title.  Long-time fans, such as us, agree this album finds Berkley Hart at their best.  New listeners will definitely understand why this incredible duo is so admired. “Crow” has been nominated for many Americana music awards.

Jeff and Calman are the epitome of why for we find sharing Música Del Río and the artists we host with our friends so very rewarding for us.  Please join us on Friday May 10th as we end our season on a truly high note with Jeff Berkley and Calman Hart.  You will be very glad you were here.
