The White Gull Inn of Door County Hosts Lou and Peter Berryman

The singer/songwriter duo Lou and Peter Berryman will be featured at the White Gull Inn in Fish Creek on Wednesday, Jan. 12. Tickets for the 8 pm concert, the third in a series of seven, are $15.

The Berrymans were some of the first folk musicians booked at the White Gull Winter Concert Series, established in 1985, and have returned for a sold out performance each January for the past 25 years. Critics describe their original music as “intelligent and wickedly funny material which is never bawdy or risqué, but is rich with wordplay and witty images.”

Lou and Peter Berryman began their musical partnership in the ‘60s when they attended high school in Appleton, Wisconsin. By the ‘80s, they had established themselves as a prominent feature of the songwriting subculture of Wisconsin’s capital, playing their original material every week for almost 10 years in the trendy music room of Madison’s Club de Wash.

Gradually expanding their circuit, they began crisscrossing the continent and gaining national attention with appearances on such programs as Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion and NPR’s Weekend Edition. The duo has released 12 recordings and three songbooks.

An optional pre-concert fixed price dinner will be served at 6 pm. The menu consists of spiced pork loin chop with warmed cider glaze, caramelized apple risotto, citrus salad, and French silk pie with ice cream for dessert. The price of the dinner is $19.95.
