The Bitter Liberals played an intimate show to a fully packed house in Berryville Saturday night July 20th. Thanks to all who came. We really appreciate performing for you.
The Bitter Liberals in Berryville 7.20.19
We designed this show with a twist by starting things out with a set of slow, meaningful ballads and working our way into a frenzy at the end of each set. This was a controversial idea, but it worked like a charm. We love to see the audience lean in and be carried away by a song.
Towards that end, our first song of the evening was a new one by Clark called “These Two Rooms.” We can’t wait to get into the studio and record this one.
The band was introduced by local impresario Donnie Rivers (who also happens to be a member of the BORH Board). Donnie was hilarious and clearly belongs in a stadium in front of thousands.

We were joined by special guest Kara Hansbarger in set two for “Tailor from Kingsport,” a song from Clark’s Civil War CD. Kara brought down the house.
