ABOUT THE BERRYS:
Driving home songs with power and control, The Berrys sing to folk and folk rock audiences with a warm originality. Fronted by the daughter-father team of Briana and Jefferson Berry, the band is held together with the precision musicianship of Billy Hyatt on bass.
From the streets of her adopted hometown of Manhattan to the French speaking roads of West Africa, there is an adventurer’s spirit in every Briana Berry show. Closer to home, she is an unforgettable vocalist who was raised at the Philly, Kerrville and Falcon Ridge Folk festivals.
As a singer songwriter, Jefferson produced Urban Acoustic in 1999. With mandolin wizard Bud Burroughs, he started Hippies and Hillbillies and produced Drumless Americana in 2005. Jefferson plays a wide variety of guitar styles. From the cop on the take to the drunk on the town, an interesting tale can be found in his tunes.
It has been an exhilarating year for The Berrys. Kicking off the ’09-’10 Philadelphia Folk Song Society’s House Concert season, the band caught the attention of Xtreme Folk Scene members for a spot at their NERFA Showcase. This led to the Concerts at the Crossing to headline their New Artist Showcase and a spot at X Fest this coming June.
