Live Music: Marc Berger and the RIDE

Marc is a nationally touring American Roots songwriter and recording artist based out of NY. He has performed at Austin’s South X Southwest and the Kerrville Folk Festival and has opened shows for Bob Dylan and other national acts. His current release, RIDE, a Western themed collection of songs, has gotten national airplay and terrific reviews. At the Bear Bottom, the band will perform songs from RIDE along with selections from an in-the-works album project that stretches the boundaries of FOLK MUSIC (hint: bring your dancin’ shoes!)

The RIDE Band:

Marc – Guitar / Vocals / Harmonica
Ray Smith – Acoustic and Electric Guitars and Effects
Mark Diamond – Upright Bass
Ryan Bell – Drums

“Marc Berger & Ride bring a well choreographed mix of deep country folk songs with touches of bluegrass, roots, Americana, a little spicy cajun, and even a little indie with an effects laced lead acoustic guitar. It’s near impossible to sit through a set without feeling a musical kinship to something in every song, even if it’s just the basic joy of watching a well seasoned band rip through every song as if it was the final number of their farewell tour.”
