Jeff Berkley has earned the San Diego Music Awards several times, and is referred to as a San Diego Legend, and by no mistake. If you have ever been blessed enough to be where his fingers are taking the vibration of the strings on his guitar into its belly and back out to your ears along with his unique vocals you will understand the soul of music just a little more than you had before.

He has 35 years of being not only a musician but his youthful experiences coupled with the now 35 years of training his ears has had him being relied upon as a producer and creator of this fine art. And he started from his own home in North Park of San Diego and wrote all his own songs from his own home, in his own bedroom, while being a Dad!

Jeff Berkley has 200+ album production contributions, which is over five pages worth of songs, prior to making his first solo album in 2017! His musical charisma leads you through heart and soul in a range of emotions as he has you laughing, then bleeding from the heart, and as you still have tears in your eyes will have you walking down some memory of times past and laughing again!

He has played with many other amazing artists such as Jason Mraz (one of my favorites), Gregory Page, Jewel (another huge favorite), Mike Keneally, Calman Hart, Lisa Sanders, Stevie and the Hi-Stax,Tim Flannery and Lunatic Fringe, Ben Harper, Joel Rafael, Gregory Page, Indigo Girls, David Crosby, and so many more!

Earning the title of San Diego legend through hard work and dedication and a charismatic moxy he brings a light everywhere he goes with his presence.

If you ever bless yourself with attending a Berkley Hart show you will experience why it is easy to understand why we brought him to you in our show. Berkley’s musical contributions as Berkley Hart is where I was graced with getting to know his musical soul expressions of their heart [Hart] and soul [Berkley]. They are amazing performers. Do NOT ever miss the opportunity for their Christmas show!

He has also been with Berkley Hart Selis Twang, The Cry, The Redwoods & Citizen Band, and now his own personal band, “The Banned” (yep you read that right) just to name a few of his other contributions to the music world.

His production Studio creations are known around the world; and, he now has his own upgraded formal studio in beautiful San Diego, where this show was recorded. The energy and spirit of Jeff Berkley and the many artists he creates with is already resonating in the beautiful wood walls. His growing up with the greats from San Diego Music and worldly experiences have offered the opportunities for having his own studio fueled by a ‘heartflow of music and soul’ that Jeff Berkley offers the music world. Here is a link to have a free viewing of Christmas 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGcBVX4w1DE

This native San Diego Producer, Songwriter, guitarist, and oh, did we mention percussionist, with a gift for gab and levity, wit and humor has everyone feeling welcome. He is who you want for your producer of sound, and a joy to share a stage with.

We cannot emphasize enough on how awesome it was to be in his studio. But, in any way you engage with Jeff Berkley, he will put you at ease with his good humor and blend in engaging you with his experience, his music, and his passion for life.

Additionally, he has always worked from home because being a Dad comes first, being a part of music is just who he is.

He has worked in horticulture and agriculture for more than 20 years in varied and diverse capacities and situations.  Most of his career has been devoted to food access and sustainability. He has recently earned his bachelor’s degree from UMass Amherst in Sustainable Food Systems.Our Farmer Matt is currently working on two projects to further the evolution in food, and mainly the food he is producing at his farm.  One, by building a community food and flower garden on the land surrounding not only his family home, but also mostly vacant lots throughout the neighboring communities.

The purpose: to offer fresh organically-raised veggies to the whole surrounding communities, to incorporate a food rescue facility to aid in reducing food waste and, one of my favorite aspects of these types of farming increase access to fresh and nutritious food within and for neighbors throughout communities community-wide. Pepper Matt's Second Passion as an entrepreneur from home is building a Lacto-fermented condiment and food CPG business, which includes hot sauce, mustard, ketchup, sauerkraut, beets, peppers, and more (all fermented, no vinegar) all of which is sold direct to you, the customer at local farmer's markets and online.

This is Farmer Matt Hanson's COVID Pivot. And Because of his taking his passion at home, therefore, to his neighboring communities he is THIRDLY ABLE TO BE building a certified commercial kitchen that will allow  the scaling of his business and offer his products to restaurants and retail stores and that can also serve as a processing facility for the aforementioned rescued food.

Now I want to paint an even deeper lead-in picture for you, our viewers, just a little further. At the age of 45/46 years old, he had been living and working as a farm manager growing veggies, tropical fruits, and cocoa for a pair of resorts in St. Lucia in the Caribbean.
