The Rear Window is both proud and excited to present David Berkeley on Saturday September 10th. David is an all around win/win show. He does everything (plays, sings, writes) extremely well and with great passion. This is a show that is a "must see," so please get your tickets soon.
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. On Some Kind of Cure, his fourth studio album, Berkeley delivers some of his most heartfelt tunes blending folk, rock, and classic pop to create timeless expressions of love and longing.
The majority of songs on Some Kind of Cure were written while Berkeley and his family were living in a remote 35-person village in the mountains of Corsica. The silence and wild island landscapes seeped into Berkeley's soul, bringing forth a collection of lingering beauty. "There were no stores in our tiny town," Berkeley explained. "No cafes. No post office. No Internet. It was silent. I had very few distractions, which was quite different from life in a big city. Because no one spoke English, I could sing rough drafts of lyrics without being embarrassed. When I played songs for the villagers, I had to make sure the emotion came through in the music, as well as the words. That had a big effect on the way I wrote my songs."
David will be accompanied by banjoist; banjonista; banjist; banjo player, and trumpeter Jordan Katz! This is gonna be one phenomenal show, so make plans to be at the Rear Window to welcome David & Jordan to the best Listening Room in Ganado, Texas!
