Cindy Lee Berryhill and John Kruth

Two bi-coastal, slightly off-center, musical talents with a long history, are coming together to do their first full show together.

Cindy Lee Berryhill has been putting out albums since 1987, most recently "The Adventurist" in 2017. She helped spawn the Anti-Folk movement in New York City, and was featured in the documentary Mariposa: "Under a Stormy Sky" along with Emmylou Harris, "The Violent Femmes", and Daniel Lanois. She has published a novel, "Memoirs of A Female Messiah".

“She deserves a berth in any Hall of Fame, for the humanities she brings to the usual vanities of song-writing.” – Van Dyke Parks

With twelve solo albums to his credit John Kruth is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/composer who plays mandolin, guitar, banjo, flute, harmonica, and sitar. John currently leads the six-piece New York-based chamber/rock ensemble The Folklorkestra. As a sideman, Kruth has jammed with Laurie Anderson, Violent Femmes, John Prine, King Missile, Hal Willner, Patti Smith, Allen Ginsberg, Elizabeth Swados, Sam Shepard, and Ornette Coleman.

John Kruth is also the author of three musical biographies to date including "Bright Moments – The Life and Legacy of Rahsaan Roland Kirk", "To Live’s To Fly – The Ballad of the Late", "Great Townes Van Zandt", and "Rhapsody in Black – The Life & Music of Roy Orbison". His other books include "This Bird Has Flown – The Enduring Beauty of Rubber Soul 50 Years On", "A Friend of the Devil – the Glorification of the Outlaw in Song from Robin Hood to Rap", "Hold on World: The Lasting Impact of John Lennon & Yoko Ono’s Plastic Ono", and most recently "Lunacy: The Curious". Phenomenon of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon 50 Years On.

“John Kruth is the high-octane raconteur of the Underground.” – David Amram
