Great, talented, beautiful … her future is so bright you’re gonna have to wear shades.”  – Chris Smither

Chelsea Berry is a powerhouse vocalist and performer based out of New England. Dubbed “the Pink of folk music” by acclaimed singer songwriter Susan Werner, Chelsea’s shows are driven by her dynamic stage presence, heartfelt lyrics and stories, and masterful writing. She has released 10 original albums over her 25 year career and has collaborated on projects with dozens of other writers and performers. Her music is played regularly on Sirius XM’s The Loft and has been featured on local radio and TV stations from Modesto to Manhattan. 

A favorite among venues up and down the East Coast, Berry’s beautiful voice and commanding stage presence have taken her on the road as support for Livingston Taylor, Chris Smither, Mavis Staples, Chris Isaak, Shawn Colvin, and many others. 

Berry’s newest original album, “Peace Love & Happiness”, was released in 2022. It was created with the founder of Foundation Joy, a nonprofit in New Hampshire which channels funds into helping drug addicts through rehabilitation. 

Berry released her first full holiday album, “Ring the Bells”, in December of 2023.

 Born and raised in Alaska, Chelsea now makes her home in Maine.
