Berryfield

Berryfield is one of fastest rising Americana acoustic acts in North Carolina. When the trio of Murphy McNeill, Dean Overman and Al Simmons first sang together two years ago at a local music festival they realized “we need to do this!” . They have put together their repertoire of original material and classics with three-part harmonies at the forefront. Al's fingerpicking style and Dean's flat picking and mandolin create an interesting musical backdrop. All three are seasoned lead vocalists which adds to their show's variety.

Al and Murphy are cousins from Carthage, NC but only began singing together recently. Murphy is influenced by the folk music of the Appalachian Mountains where she spent four years studying music business at Appalachian State University. Dean is from Pittsboro, NC and he and Al were original members of the Rockinhorse Band which had two singles on the country charts and one album release. After Rockinhorse, Al continued songwriting and performing as a solo artist and Dean pursued his love of bluegrass in Bluegrass Borderline and the Lew Robertson Band.

Their current CD release “You Can Fly” demonstrates their versatility of style. Included are originals as well as arrangements of their signature classics reimagined as only Berryfield can do. Enjoy their live show with rich harmonies and a unique musical synergy in a venue in your area.
