Berkley album release

For the last three years across the western U.S., Berkley has been getting attention every time he reappears online with new music. An early version of his first single, "Pueblo Nights," earned a comparison to Beck from the Dallas Observer in 2020. Later that year, "Oldies," featuring Margo Price and Orville Peck sideman Luke Schneider, found a place as one of the Top 100 songs of 2020 from Dallas music blog Central Track. "Fiesta Day" landed Berkley in the pantheon of Colorado musicians a year later following a deep interview with the regional music archive Elk Bugles. Finally, the feather in Berkley's cap came way of a Bandcamp New and Notable mention in 2022 for his EP Love Notes, cementing his sound as "earnest and immediate pop-rock [...] with shades of Americana and ’70s Laurel Canyon rock & roll."

Now the full vision of the small world Berkley has built with his singles: Pueblo. His full-length debut finds the Portland songwriter expanding personal flashbacks of his youth growing up in Pueblo, Colorado into 10 tracks of gauzy, straight-ahead reflections on how one creates the myths of their life and whether they are worth living or erasing.
