SoundSwap: Marc Berger and RIDE Perform Live!

. Description: 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 and been licensed by STARBUCKS for worldwide in-store airplay. At this special concert, Marc, joined by the fabulous RIDe Band, will perform songs from RIDE and Marc will share unforgettable stories of his experiences as an easterner in remote parts of the mountain and desert West.
