Calendar Pick: John Berry

John Berry

Grammy and Emmy Award-winning country artist John Berry is returning for a homecoming show celebrating 40 years since he started his music career in Athens. He’ll play the hits and throw back to the covers that carried him through his time playing in the local bar scene. The show is part of a larger tour celebrating 30 years since the release of Berry’s 1995 hit, “Standing on the Edge of Goodbye,” which debuted at #73 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart before eventually climbing to the second spot. His most recent album, 2022’s Find My Joy, is one of over two dozen albums he has released over his career, granting him a prolificness that has earned him spots in both the North American Country Music Association International Hall of Fame and the South Carolina Entertainment & Music Hall of Fame. Berry goes on at 7 p.m. after an afternoon of blues and country openers including Michael C. Steele, Kenny Head and Bill Pappas.

WHO: John Berry
