It was a pleasure to work with our friends at the Lincoln Center to produce a captivating performance by David Berkeley, who was a  2010 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest Award Round finalist.  

“[Berkeley] sings in a lustrous, melancholy voice with shades of Tim Buckley and Nick Drake. As his melodies ascend to become benedictions and consolations, the music shimmers and peals.” Jon Pareles, The New York Times

David Berkeley is a romantic realist, known for his ability to look at the human condition in all its complexity and give us luminous songs full of sunshine and anguish, melancholy and delight. He brings the people and situations he sings about to vibrant life with a warm, rich tenor that often slips into an aching falsetto to underline the overwhelming emotions that can move us to tears or laughter.
