• Marc Berger – Ride – A Musical Experience

    New Bedford Free Public Library 613 Pleasant St, New Bedford, MA, United States

    Marc's life has been about pursuing twin passions: creating, recording and performing his original songs and exploring the American West. He’s performed at Austin's SXSW Music Festival and the Kerrville Folk Festival and opened for Bob Dylan and other national acts and his antinuclear anthem The Last One was a staple of Richie Havens' concerts. Marc’s critically acclaimed album, RIDE, a collection of songs all having to do with the romance of the West has received national airplay. At this special concert, Marc will perform songs from RIDE and share some unforgettable stories about his experiences as an easterner in remote parts of the mountain and desert West. “Time Waits For No Man” - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm5pHQ0JoQY “It’s the breathtaking grandeur of the high desert and plateaus suspended between the pioneer days and ten minutes ago” - FAME (Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange) This program is a part of our America250 series.
