Music

It was my good fortune to turn my original pop rock songs into recordings made the old-fashioned way, on two-inch tape in magical analogue studios. Playing with me were two of the greatest drummers in the world, Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, John Fogerty, Michelle Branch, Avril Lavigne, etc.) and Steve Holley (Paul McCartney and Wings). A number of songs from my EP Skip It (2005) and LP Kick the Machine (2006) charted on college radio in the US. My song “I Like You” was in rotation on the #1 terrestrial radio station in Germany, back when both CDs were big on MySpace.

A couple of my songs appeared alongside songs by artists including The Killers and Ray LaMontagne on A Taste of Triple A, a compilation CD. “Marc Berley…embodies the no-holds-barred spirit and attitude of quintessential American rockers like Buddy Holly, Joey Ramone and early Tom Petty,” writes Jim Nelson of A Taste of Triple A. “The guitars are vibrant and out front….Marc’s melodies are stellar.”

Digital downloads are available on Spotify, iTunes, etc., and CDs are still available. I still have the two-inch master tapes, so maybe one day we’ll press some vinyl.
