Marc Berger Concert

Marc Berger in Concert

Grafton Town Common, Grafton, Ma

(Rain location: Grafton Public Library Community Room)

We encourage everyone to bring a chair or blanket, as seating will be limited.

Marc’s life has been about pursuing twin passions: creating, recording, and performing his original songs, and exploring the American West. He has performed at Austin’s SXSW Music Festival and the Kerrville Folk Festival and has opened for Bob Dylan and other national acts. His antinuclear anthem, The Last One, was a staple of Richie Havens’ concerts.

Marc’s critically acclaimed album RIDE—a collection of songs centered on the romance of the West—has received national airplay and was licensed by Starbucks for worldwide in-store play.

At this special concert, Marc will perform songs from the album and share unforgettable stories about his experiences as an Easterner in remote parts of the mountain and desert West.
