The bridge crosses over rivers and abysses, boldly rising over obstacles to bring places and people closer together.
The bridge is a neutral space and a meeting ground, raised over the river and tumult of life. Underneath the bridge, and in its shadow live tramps and trolls, reminders that the br...idge's flight is not without its dark side.

Dan Bern is best known for being a prolific songwriter and electric live persona who has r...eleased a dozen albums and has spent well over a decade performing everywhere from coffee shops to Carnegie Hall. Since releasing his first album in 1997, Dan Bern has amassed a strong underground following built on endless touring and his prodigious output of songs of all shapes and sizes.
Some of his best albums include 1997's Dan Bern, 2001's New American Language, and 2006's Breathe, all produced all or in part by Chuck Plotkin; and 1998's 50 Eggs,produced by Ani DiFranco. In 2007 Bern focused much of his energy into motion pictures. He used his talents and sharp wit to compose over a dozen songs for the Jake Kasdan/Judd Apatow music biopic spoof Walk Hard:The Dewey Cox Story. He also wrote the title song for Jonathan Demme's documentary, Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains.
A true Renaissance man, Dan Bern comes with an eclectic blend of talents and accomplishments. In addition to countless songs, he has written several books of short stories, plus a full-length novel, Quitting Science. His paintings have been displayed in hotels, art galleries and purchased en masse through his online art gallery. He is an award winning sports columnist in the state of New Mexico; a tennis pro who taught tennis to the late Wilt Chamberlain; and he did a vocal impression of Howard Cosell for NFL's Monday Night Football. And, in the spirit of Cool Hand Luke, he even won an egg eating contest at the 2008 Truth or Consequences Fiesta, scarfing 17 eggs in 10 minutes.
What's next for Dan Bern? Be sure it will include profound and insightful social commentary, a generous dose of humor, a little tennis, and lots and lots of songs.

Marta Topferova started singing with the Mládí choir at age eight in her native Prague, Czech Republic. Her love and dedication to both Latin American music and the folklore of Czechoslovakia, and her fluency in both Czech and Spanish, combine to create a unique artistry.
After majoring in music and dance at Bard Colle...ge, Ms. Topferova moved to Moron de la Frontera, Spain, to study privately and further develop as a musician. There she learned to play the guitar, hand percussion, and, later, the four-string cuatro. After spending two years in Spain and the Czech Republic, she settled in New York City and has been actively composing, arranging, and performing her original songs with her ensembles, in addition to collaborating with other groups, including Lucia Pulido and Fiesta De Tambores, among others.
Ms. Topferova has performed at Joe’s Pub, The Blue Note, SOBs, and The United Nations in New York City, and across the United States in venues such as Scullers in Boston, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Jazz Alley in Seattle, and The Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. She has participated in festivals across the globe, and been featured on numerous television and radio programs worldwide. Her fifth CD, entitled “Trova” (The Troubadour Tradition), will be released this fall on the World Village label.
