Marc Douglas Berardo is a different kind of singer/songwriter. In what amounts to song length works of fiction, Berardo’s sharply drawn portraits cast a net on unusual and interesting characters and places. With a painter’s eye for detail, and music firmly rooted in the great American sound, Berardo sings about towns full of circus retirees, expatriates in Florida rum bars, union iron workers, aimless New York City debutantes, near death car crashes and of course, the changes that experience brings to everyone. All of these songs are brought to the stage with a relaxed and disarming stage presence, that makes for a fine night of music, laughter, emotion and insight. Doug Echols of WPKN-FM of Bridgeport, CT called the whole experience: "thought provoking and a great pleasure to hear!” Seriously. You should see him. He's good.
Based in Westerly, Rhode Island, Berardo performs 150 nights a year everywhere from bars and coffeehouses to theaters and national festivals. Places such as the legendary Town Crier Cafe and Postcrypt Coffeehouse in New York to the world famous Trade Winds Cantina in North Florida and The St Anne's Chapel in Vatican City, Italy. Along the way he has shared the stage with a variety of national acts including, Peter Rowan, The Marshall Tucker Band, Little Feat, NRBQ, Guy Clark, Vassar Clements, Ralph Stanley, blues legend Chris Smither, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members The Buffalo Springfield, Brooks Williams, Norman Blake (Oh Brother Soundtrack), Steve Forbert, and Eric Anderson among others.
In April of 2006, Munga Music will release Berardo’s fourth CD (his first for the CT based label), entitled HARBOR. The highly anticipated collection produced by Prof. Dick Neal (Plexigrass, Larry Deming, Mockingbirds) is musically adventurous, oozing with integrity and just plain good for your soul. The thirteen new songs are framed by emotional string arrangements, exhilarating front porch clap a-longs and fine grooves that ease in like a quiet fog and leave a lasting impression.
Accolades for the new CD and songs therein are already mounting, including an ASCAP PLUS AWARD, Finalist honors in the Suwannee Springfest Song Contest (FL), Just Plain Folks Awards (CA), Mid Atlantic Song Contest (D.C) and The Plowshares Song Contest (PA).The February 2006 National Folk DJ Radio Survey listed HARBOR at #35, tied with a trio of legendary names: Jackson Browne, Pete Seeger, Rodney Crowell.
Plans for 2006 include live shows and radio appearances from Maine to Timbucktu , and anywhere else with a some neon in the window and room to play.
