Jefferson Berry combines story telling with the intricacies of JamBand and Roots instrumentation. His songs are performed by a cadre of unique players: The Urban Acoustic Coalition. The band is anchored by the virtuosity of Bud Burroughs and the harmonies of Theresa Ratliff. While acoustic by nature, never missing is the locked-in bass/drums drive of Uncle Mike and Adam Stranburg. Complementing all this with a variety of guitar styles, Berrys projects bring a danceable style and contemporary point of view to a unique wing of Philadelphias local music scene. With the release of his fourth album in five years, this reputation is spreading nationally. Berrys lyrics are informed by his years in corporate media followed by a dozen years teaching African American History, Economics and Government to inner-city Philadelphia high school students. Symeer Woods (aka Lil Uzi Vert) and the late Rasheen Jones (aka Runup Rico) were among his students. Soon was originally released in 2021 and has 9 tracks in total featuring Well Soon Be Together and a cover of the Jefferson Airplane track When the Earth Moves Again.
