Chris Berardo

Chris Berardo’s quarter-century of music making has been a pure, heartfelt emotional outpouring – a triumph of authentic song-craft and storytelling over careerism, fashion and hype. “I never really was the type to chase ‘fame’ just for the sake of it,’” said Berardo. “It was more that I just wanted the opportunities to sing these songs for people”.

Over the course of three albums and countless roadhouses, honky-tonks, close calls and lost weekends, Berardo and his longtime band The DesBerardos have earned a loyal fanbase and peer respect for the sheer quality and sincerity of their rootsy Americana rock. It’s a nuanced, genre-straddling sound that resonates widely through both pop sensibilities and outlaw attitude. Americana UK described Berardo’s sound as “Americana in its truest sense ... both keeping the flame alive and moving it forward,” while TMT Radio/Americana Music Times dubbed The DesBerardos, “One of the finest Americana bands out there.”

A consummate and charismatic performer, Berardo’s smoky voice and lived-in tales have charmed audiences from intimate acoustic shows to full-blown theater concerts, often opening for some of his idols, including The Doobie Brothers, The Marshall Tucker Band, Dickey Betts & Great Southern, and America.
