About this concert
With a voice that straddles delicacy and huskiness, Portland songwriter Berkley (born Andy Jones) takes the mantle from the 70s Laurel Canyon scene. Jones’s signature progressive flourishes and expansive influences keep him out of the heritage revivalism pack as he ventures into new (for him) territory of country-tinged, folk-leaning tunes on his second LP Vaquero.

alwaysberkley Biography

With a voice that straddles delicacy and huskiness delivering impressionist lyricism, Portland songwriter Berkley (born Andy Jones) takes the mantle from folk rock names like America. His 2023 debut album Pueblo earned comparisons to the 70s Laurel Canyon scene, laying the path to his rootsy follow up Vaquero. The concept and early song sketches for Vaquero led to a Portland arts grant, allowing the typically DIY artist to better realize his vision for an LP in the tradition of Neil Young or his more modern heroes, Pete Yorn and Rufus Wainwright. With more room to explore in the studio, he gained new supporters in songwriter Sam Weber (Madison Cunningham) taking on a guitar/piano role, first-call session drummer Micah Hummel (Anna Tivel), LA/Portland jack of all music Tejas Leier Heyden, and the producer’s producer Gus Berry (Love Dean, Still Woozy). On Vaquero, Berkley crafts an episodic western drama that draws from grief and personal reflection on his biraciality in the wake of a death in his family.

Jones’s signature progressive flourishes and expansive influences keep him out of the heritage revivalism pack as he ventures into new (for him) territory of country-tinged, folk-leaning tunes.

“Earnest and immediate pop-rock with shades of Americana and ’70s Laurel Canyon rock & roll." - Bandcamp
