1963-1967] at the Windgap Folk Festival 2004, and also, Chris Hillman [The Byrds], Herb Pedersen [Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor], and Fayssoux Starling [Emmylou Harris].

-Born in Greenville, South Carolina in 1984, Berg has a voice that will call sirens from their ocean beds and lure them onto land. His poetry is infused with both a rebellious seduction and a strident social awareness far beyond his years. The songs' sometimes dark country flare is bolstered by gritty upright and electric basses, grainy late-night guitars, and a boyish southern charm.
