The Berryman Trailer ~ a history
Berryman Treailer mural

The "Berryman Trailer" has served as the main stage performer dressing room at the Old Songs Festival since 1990. The mural, commissioned to celebrate our 10th anniversary, was designed by our pal Peter Berryman. His original 4 ft.-wide mock-up is shown above.

The trailer had been donated to Old Songs that year by the Altamont Fairgrounds. Lou and Peter Berryman enlisted some good friends to help paint it. There's even a Berryman song, Old Songs, with all the characters on the trailer in it. We'll get back to that in a minute. First, a little history...
