While living in a 35-person village in the mountains of Corsica, David Berkeley
wrote the most haunting and powerful music of his life. Upon returning to the
U.S., he began recording a collection of these songs. The result, to be released
on JANUARY 25, 2011, is Berkeley’s 4th studio album, Some Kind of Cure,
rich with the images from that Mediterranean island and even the sounds of the
village church bell and Corsican singers that David recorded while there.

Dubbed “a musical poet” by the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE with,
"emotional story-telling lyrics, charismatic stage presence, and hilarious
anecdotes" (June Wulff, THE BOSTON GLOBE), Berkeley has also written an
accompanying book of short stories (one for each of the 13 tracks), 140 Goats
and a Guitar - the Stories behind Some Kind of Cure, to be released in
conjunction with the album.

David Berkeley is a romantic realist, known for his ability to look at the human
condition in all its complexity and give us luminous songs full of sunshine and
anguish, melancholy and delight. He brings the people and situations he sings
about to vibrant life with a warm, rich tenor that often slips into an aching
falsetto to underline the overwhelming emotions that can move us to tears or
laughter. He blends folk, rock, and classic pop to create timeless expressions
of love and longing. “It may be pop music, but my goal is to be open and
honest,” Berkeley says. “I’m not afraid to show fear and
weakness. I want my songs to convey hope without denying the hard times we all
face.”
