Jory Kevin Berger

Jory is a singer/songwriter currently living and playing in Toronto. After playing with his band, Royal Farm for 5 years in his native Vancouver, Jory moved to Montreal to pursue theatre. He completed a BFA in Theatre at Concordia University, while continuing to make his own recordings, composing music for shows at school and outside of school, as well as co-founding his own theatre company, Renegade Productions. Though Renegade had great critical acclaim in the media for its creative stagings of Canadian shows, the music continued to call to Jory. It's my excuse for thought, discussion, and ideally allowing the blinds to open and the walls around us to fall." Jory has music pouring out of him. Take it. Eat it up. ____________________________________________________________ ________ His latest mission that he wishes you all to be a part of is as follows: Talk to someone in the elevator. Help somebody with directions. Slow it down, because the faster you try to get away, the faster you come full circle. Learn YOUR lessons not somebody else's. If you want peace and quiet jump on a Toronto public bus... when you're done your meditation, strike a conversation. Let the person in front of you at an atm machine know that youre scared of getting mugged too. This will make us all fast friends. Let someone into your lane, especially if they wanna speed, let them get the ticket! Remember a tow truck can repot your car, but can also help you when youre stuck in a bad way... open up the book, stop looking at the cover, because the meaning on the cover changes once your imagination starts the read, and most likely, the author didn't paint the cover. Be yourself, and keep asking yourself why you are who you are. If you are lost... so is Jory. We can talk about it at the show (he promises to not speak in the third person). ____________________________________________________________ _____ NOW. Things you might find at Jory's show(s) Food and Drink. All the friends that you have brought. A bathroom close by that is... mostly clean. Jory happy you came. You having a blast, singing along, thinking, "why didn't I do this before? This is better than Cats!" All of us taking a load off, hmm, actually... wait till you get home, the bathroom is TOO close by. And maybe some paper and a pen to doodle. You never know when creativity might strike!
