Berkeley

With a voice that straddles delicacy and huskiness, Portland songwriter Berkley (Andy Jones) takes the mantle from the 70s Laurel Canyon scene.

Jones’s signature progressive flourishes and expansive influences keep him out of the heritage revivalism pack as he ventures into new (for him) territory of country-tinged, folk-leaning tunes on his grant-winning second LP, Vaquero.
