May 6: David Berkeley returns

OK OK! We have lured David Berkeley back as requested, nay implored. He's getting all famous, so snag your tickets quickly. Doors open at 6:30 for a vegetarian feast (a gift to you - 100% of ticket $ goes to the musician). Music starts at 7:30. The Casa is a private home. Leave your shoes at the door but you may BYOB inside. Please text 202 270-5048 if you'd like to help cook (and learn our secrets) or clean up (and be adored for it).

Here's more about David www.davidberkeley.com
Called a musical poet by the San Francisco Chronicle and praised for his lustrous, melancholy voice by The New York Times, Santa Fe-based songwriter and author David Berkeley has been a guest on This American Life, and has won the Kerrville New Folk competition and ASCAPs coveted Johnny Mercer Songwriter Award. Berkeley has opened for/toured with Adele, Mumford & Sons, Ray LaMontagne, Billy Bragg, Ben Folds, Don McLean, Dido, Rufus Wainwright, Joseph Arthur, Duncan Sheik, Colin Hay, Nickel Creek and Guster.
This time he will be joined by New York-based guitar wizard Bill Titus. Titus has played on Berkeleys last two studio releases and has toured the world with him, adding exquisite soundscapes and power to Berkeleys haunting songs.
Berkeley's most recent project is a novella of intertwining short stories and an accompanying album of songs, each sung from the perspective of the stories main characters. Its an incredible combination that, like most of Berkeley's art, manages to both break and heal the heart. Berkeley is also the American half of behatted international folk duo Son of Town Hall - which was his last concert at the Casa. Hear more at www.sonoftownhall.com
