Singer-songwriter Leslie Berry is often described as “progressive pop.” But upon closer listen, you hear many influences in her music. Atlanta's Creative Loafing describes her music as “modern songwriting with elements of classical and folk that simmers with an understated unrest.” Greenville’s Metrobeat says, “it’s refreshing to hear an artist capable of creating accessible music without sacrificing integrity and inventiveness. Upstate pianist Leslie Berry is such an artist.” Southeast Performer calls her debut CD “a well produced adult contemporary showcase.” The Hickory News says that Leslie “drives a mean piano.” All of these ingredients are what have made Leslie Berry a promising artist on the Southeast music scene.
Originally from the metro Atlanta area, Leslie has been playing and singing in ensembles for over twenty years. She holds a degree in music performance and has appeared with symphony orchestras, the Spartanburg Repertory Company, The Spartanburg Little Theater, Theatre Converse, and at the Brevard Music Center. Training to be a concert pianist, it wasn’t until after graduating college that Leslie’s love for pop music convinced her to change her direction and begin writing her own songs. Leslie’s original songs and those of songwriting partner and producer David Berry are characterized by “layers and textures in both the music and the meaning of the songs,” according to the Spartanburg Herald-Journal.
Leslie Berry has appeared at such notable venues as The Handlebar, Coffee Underground, The Cotton Club, Red Light Cafe and Eddie's Attic, and was a featured artist on Oprah Winfrey’s Oxygen Network Tank Tour. She has performed at many festivals and conferences across the Southeast as well, such as Cape Fear Folk Fest, First Night Asheville, MumFest in New Bern, Riverplace Festival in Greenville, Spring Fling in Spartanburg, and Brown Bag Lunch in downtown Marietta, GA. She is a member of Indiegrrl, Just Plain Folks, Songsalive!, and GoGirls, organizations founded to promote independent artists. Leslie was also selected to showcase at both the Midwestern Entertainment Industry Conference and the IMC2004. She was a finalist in the 2004 UK Songwriting Competition and received an honorable mention for her song "Cinderella" in the IK Multimedia 2004 Summer Music Challenge. She received an honorable mention for her CD, "No Cinderella", at the 2004 DIY Music Festival. You might have also heard her performing with the NC-based newgrass band, Candlewyck.

Glad you updated the photo with the "New Hair". Just stopping in to say "Hi Y'all", hope you and the professor are well......My bro n law is a retired Professor of Physics from GA State.
He still thinks it's aerodynamically impossible for Bumble Bee's to fly. I told him no, they get gas from the pollen that makes them lighter than air like a helium balloon, and that sudden burst of speed comes when they fart.....then they take off like a jet.
Of course the Bumble Bee doesn't know they can't fly, so they just do it anyway.

I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
