Marc Douglas Berardo is a rising star on the national singer songwriter scene. In 2006 alone, he was recognized with several major song awards including The Telluride Troubadour Contest (CO), Rocky Mountain Folks Festival (CO), Suwannee Springfest Song Contest (FL), and the Wildflower Arts Festival (TX) and The Just Plain Folks Award (CA). Berardo has shared the stage with some of the best in acoustic music including The Buffalo Springfield, Guy Clark, Dr. Ralph Stanley, Peter Rowan (Old and in the Way), Eric Anderson and Steve Forbert. On stage on average of 150 nights a year, Berardo can be seen in rooms like the The Towne Crier Cafe and Bitter End in New York, the Trade Winds Cantina in Florida and even St Annes Chapel in Vatican City, Italy. He does this "simply and well" with what Rambles Cultural Magazine calls: "careful images and great tunes." In April of 2006, Munga Music issued Marcs fourth CD entitled "Harbor". The CD reached 25 on the Folk DJ Radio Chart in the US and Europe, tied with a trio of legendary names: Jackson Browne, Pete Seeger and Rodney Crowell. Marc has been a recent guest on many radio programs including "Profiles in Folk" on WSHU, CT, "Sessions at Centenary" on WNTI, NJ, and the legendary "Folk Music with Gene Shay" on WXPN, Philadelphia, PA. When not traveling to shows in his Saturn car, Berardo lives in a fortified compound by the sea in Westerly, Rhode Island.
