DAVID BERKELEY

Join us to celebrate the release of A Pail Full of Fire in a truly magical setting.

David Berkeley’s gift as a songwriter is in finding light through darkness, the hope in the hardship. His gift as a performer is in weaving hilariousstories in between his heartbreaking songs. Berkeley has been called a “musical poet,” by the San Francisco Chronicle and a “double fantasy of Nick Drake and Donovan” by Rollingstone.com. Praised by New York Times for his “lustrous, melancholy voice,” he has been featured on This American Life. He’s won many songwriting honors, including ASCAPs Johnny Mercer Songwriting Award.

David returns to the old church to release his latest album, A Pail Full of Fire. Produced by Todd Sickafoose (Hadestown, Ani DiFranco) and recorded in Eugene, Oregon, Berkeley’s ninth solo album showcases him at the peak of his songwriting and vocal game. The arrangements are simple yet lush–pedal steel, piano, upright bass, and acoustic guitar–and feature Berkeley’s beautiful voice (complimented by Anna Tivel’s harmonies). These tender and beautiful songs are meditations on love, aging, and children growing up.

Please join us for what promises to be an unforgettable evening.
