It’s not necessarily the song, it’s the story. That’s how Nashville-based singer-songwriter Chris Canterbury has always approached songwriting.

Born and raised in North Louisiana, Chris began writing songs and stories about life from a unique but oddly-familiar point of view. Songs about liquor stores, truck stops, low-rent motels, and the grifters and transients that frequent them. He takes a critical look at some of the topics that often get discarded in the writing room, and he presents them as though they’re a casual kitchen conversation.

Chris has toured the country for the last 2 decades, sharing the stage with the likes of Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Chris Knight, and many others. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pool hall or a theater, a festival or a front porch, Chris’s live sound is the whiskey-laden narrative that anyone with a struggle can relate to.

Country singer/songwriter Charlie Berry seemed to have had a running start when he arrived as a solo artist in 2021, but his impact is anything but a coincidence. Berry spent the last decade fronting bands and laboring over his signature storytelling and truth revealing style of songwriting. Along the way he discovered a knack for translating those songs to tape as a producer and multi-instrumentalist in the recording studio.

After years of developing his craft, Charlie Berry stands at the precipice of something altogether new. Discover the culmination of his efforts in his latest release “Something About Airports”. : https://www.charlieberrymusic.com/
