    About This Event

    At Berlin, a four-artist lineup—Preston Lydotes, Clara Kay, Nick Prato and Coco Smith—features guitar-forward songwriting in an intimate, small-room setting. Smith's rock/pop material favors close listening and direct vocal phrasing; Prato brings roots-driven indie rock shaped by folk, Americana and his coastal Maine upbringing.
