"Until I'm Strong" by Ricky Berger Delivers Entertaining Introspection
SacTV.com "Video of the Day" review by
Alex Cosper on Jan. 9, 2012
This live video shows Ricky Berger playing "Until I'm Strong" at the Naked Lounge in Sacramento.
It's the "Video of the Day" because of how Ricky wanders into her own unique artistry on keyboards
and vocals. The song takes us on a journey that visits narcissism, fear and fearlessness. Somehow
it crosses into comical relief at times. Her classical-inspired playing adds artistic flavor
to the song that delivers lyrical depth, although the keyboard dominates the song.
Ricky Berger has gained thousands of online followers on ReverbNation where her profile page
offers songs and videos. She ranks in the top 10 for Sacramento pop artists on ReverbNation, which also
lists her as a jazz and folk artist. Her official website is
her MySpace page where her 2006 debut CD Ricky Berger's 1st Album is available. Her recordings and shows
are built on acoustic sounds with guitar and piano. Her vocals have a conversational quality that tell
emotional stories that resolve into moments of clarity.
Live acoustic performance, as Ricky demonstrates, generates atmospheric power when rooted in authenic
expression and creative musical storytelling. Her presentation creates a warm, friendly presence for
a responsive crowd. In these settings, when emphasis is on vocals flavored by one instrument, lyrics
take on deeper significance than when several instruments dominate a concert and drown out vocals.
Sacramento can attract more attention as a poetic music community if more acoustic storytellers who
spread their melodic messages to live audiences.
