Railway Cafe & Studio 9 Presents Marc Douglas Berardo, with special guest Matt Borrello

Marc Douglas Berardo lives on the southwestern coastline of Rhode Island on a river that runs into the ocean. Berardo’s songs mine the deep feelings and lessons gleaned from real-life characters and situations. It’s his songs combined with an onstage presence that uses humor and deft storytelling to rally an audience and lead them into a deep and sometimes spiritual experience. It’s an adventure that brings to mind James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, Guy Clark, or Steely Dan with a touch of Mark Twain or Hunter S. Thompson for good measure. After thirty years of bars, theaters, house concerts, and festivals as well as a boatload of song awards and national recognition, Berardo has established himself as the real deal. A lifer that No Depression Magazine called: “sincere, fluid, charming and above all gripping.”. 

Matt Borrello is a New England singer-songwriter and guitarist with an extensive repertoire of folk, country, blues, and rock music. Matt began writing songs as a teenager in the small town of Dighton, MA, and soon started playing at local open mics and blues jams. He has now performed up and down the East coast, with occasional travels to LA, Nashville, and the UK. Currently a fixture in the Boston scene, Borrello’s shows range from a quiet coffeehouse solo act to a full tilt rock and roll band. Matt released his first album “Don’t Turn Around” in 2010 and his second “A Dollar & A Kiss” in 2015, and his third “Lonesome Valley” in 2022.
