When not traveling to shows in his KIA car, Berardo lives in a fortified and secluded compound near the ocean in Westerly, Rhode Island.

"Berardo sounds like a fishing-town Bruce Springsteen (in Nebraska mode), a soft-toned Don Henley, or a James Taylor with a literary side. The comparisons to singer-songwriter greats are infinite. They're also apt."-Fairfield County Weekly, CT.
