Bio
Jefferson Berry combines storytelling in the Urban Folk tradition with the intricacies of JamBand and Roots instrumentation. Berry’s 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.
A cadre of unique players performs Jefferson’s songs: The Urban Acoustic Coalition. The virtuosity of Bud Burroughs and the harmonies of Theresa Ratliff anchor the band. 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, Berry’s projects bring a danceable style and contemporary perspective to a unique wing of Philadelphia’s local music scene.
Harnessing legitimate uses of A.I., Jefferson’s music videos have been winning awards at film festivals as they support each album release. Twelve A.I. platforms are used to illustrate finished songs in a way that the technology is merely a tool directed by the song.
