Event
Lou and Peter Berryman @ Hogeye Folk Arts
Lou and Peter Berryman are not married (to one another). They were (once). Didn't work (as well as their musical collaboration did). So to keep their audiences raving and themselves not, the Berryman's kept their name and their promise to the million or so of us who wouldn't feel the same about folk music without them. Did we say "national treasure"? Maybe.
Their original music reflects their keen senses of observation and whimsy. Lou (an accomplished weaver and sewer [rhymes with thrower] composes and arranges, and plays piano accordion and button accordion. Peter (who stands firm behind his unfocused interests in art) writes lyrics and music and plays 12-string guitar.
We don't know for sure that songs about weaving or sewing or
unfocused interests are part of their repertoire...but we wouldn't be surprised. And entertaining? Mercy, if you don't leave their concert smiling, we will refund your money (except where prohibited by law or in any church in Evanston, IL).
Lou and Peter learned the roots of their trade by playing music from folk to musical theater, and from blues to polka. It has been said of the Berrymans that they're "simply the funniest songwriters around. Everybody is doing their songs but nobody does them better." If you know Lou and Peter, then you know we're preaching to the choir.
Join us on Nov. 1 in the Josephine Grey Parlor at the Lake Street Church.
