Biography

Bio

"Berkeley sings in a lustrous, melancholy voice with shades of Tim Buckley and Nick Drake…as his melodies ascend to become benedictions and consolations, the music shimmers and peals."

–The New York Times

American singer-songwriter-author David Berkeley writes songs capable of both breaking and mending the heart. He was a guest on This American Life and has won many songwriting awards and honors including ASCAPs Johnny Mercer Songwriting Award. Berkeley has released eight studio albums, one live album, and authored two books, which pair with two of his albums. In addition to David’s solo career, he is one half of the wildly creative Trans-Atlantic costumed duo Son of Town Hall. Berkeley’s music has also been remixed by many of the world’s top EDM DJs.

"If you're into literate soulful singer songwriters, David Berkeley is the Gabriel García Márquez of beautiful-voiced troubadours."
