About Berkley Hart:
www.berkleyhart.com
Hailed as masters of both two part harmony and dazzling song craft, over the past ten years, Berkley Hart have established themselves as one of the premier acoustic duos touring the country. In concert the duo shines, the obvious camaraderie between these two top songwriters driving each performance. Add in virtuoso playing from both Jeff Berkley (guitar, percussion) and Calman Hart (guitar, harmonica) as well as their good natured humor and it’s easy to see why the two have become live favorites. That said, it’s their acclaimed albums which have racked up the accolades, each filled with tunes as catchy as you’re likely to come across.

Music Samples:
My My My (from CD “Something to Fall Back On”)
Sink of Swim (from CD ”Wreck ‘N Sow”)
Enough’s Enough (from CD “Twelve”)
Pocket Change (from CD “Pocket Change)
