Berchtold and Stear This duo have just released their first CD together (and David's 4th CD). It is called, "Berchtold and Stear: Ghosts of Music Past," (April 2011) and is getting airplay at WGLT, WEFT, and WKCC. Here's what Nick DeRiso of ReviewYou.com said in his review of "Ghosts of Music Past:" "From Tin Pan Alley to Deep South and Piedmont Soul, from folk-singer musings to rock band re-makes, it's all here. Berchtold and Stear show that there isn't much they won't try, and less still that they can't do well." Read the full review under David's Electronic Press Kit.

Chicago Farmer "This is not your average 'man with guitar.' Chicago Farmer's approach to solo folk music is traditional, but his soul & energy are uncommonly powerful. Arriving with his classic acoustic guitar style is a voice smooth, but broken-in that sounds wise beyond its years. He will stomp out a beat in leather boots to drive home a point and throw down a handsome harmonica solo to put a song over the top. The songs are about the places he's been and the people he's met, so local ideas are abound in this music from the heart." -Jeremy Frazier, CBSChicago.com Miller Park Zoo The mobile zoo is back!
