Ride: A Musical Cinematic Trip through the American West with Marc Berger

LITCHFIELD, Conn. - April 12, 2016 - PRLog -- Inspired by Marc Berger's lifelong love affair with the American West, Ride presents ten cinematic recordings capturing the vastness and romance of the West while exploring its deep roots in the American psyche. From the haunting message and beat of "Twister" to the soul-shaking challenge of taming a wild horse in "Take it on the Chin," Ride takes you on a dusty tour of the Great American Frontier. This duo performance will feature Marc Berger on vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica and Mike Ricciardi on drums and percussion.

Marc Berger's life has been about pursuing twin passions: creating and recording his American roots songs, and exploring remote areas of the desert and mountains of the West. Ride, co-produced with Mike Ricciardi, reflects his romantic connection to the American West and explores the value of its myths to contemporary culture.

Berger has fronted bands and performed regularly in New York City clubs like CBGB, Wetlands, and The Knitting Factory. He has opened shows for Bob Dylan and other national acts. His song, "The Last One," was a staple of Richie Havens' concerts for years. To hear     samples and learn more, visit his website  at www.marcbergermusic.com.
