Lou and Peter Berryman

press release:

$20

Together on stage since their fateful art class meeting in the mid-sixties, Lou & Peter Berryman have been humoring audieces with their tenacious wit ever since. As they say, they’ve never won a Grammy or been on the Tonight Show, but they’ve been performing snappy folk tunes with grace and enthusiasm for long enough to gain the attention of notables such as Michael Cooney, Peggy Seeger, and Noel Paul Stookey, among many others.

With song titles like Older’n Everybody, Why Am I Painting the Livingroom, Your State’s Name Here, and The Stuff Song it’s hard to deny the good humor that abounds whenever Lou & Peter pick up their instruments.

With at least fourteen recordings to their name, various visits to A Prairie Home Companion, and a hopping tour schedule, Lou & Peter have wound their lives around the business of writing and making music. They’ve had a tribute album made of their songs by Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangsen, been commissioned to write and record for the Wisconsin Historical Society, Wisconsin Public Television, and the UW Foundation, and their names are practically synonomous with folk music in the Madison area. If you haven’t seen them live, you’re missing out on a Wisconsin treasure.
