Since 1988, Marin County singer-songwriter Bernie Chiaravalle has been touring the world playing guitar with five-time Grammy winner Michael McDonald. During those years, Chiaravalle has co-written and recorded with McDonald, co-writing four tracks on his superb 2000 release Blue Obsession, as well as co-producing it. They have written over two dozen songs together. Bernie also has a song on the legendary Judy Collins duets album Strangers Again. The wonderful “Miracle River” was written by Bernie, Amy Holland and John Goodwin and performed as a duet between Judy Collins and Mike McDonald. Bernie’s musical style encompasses many influences from The Beatles to Stephen Stills to Todd Rundgren and others. But he really has distilled those influences down into his own thing. Many of his songs have a cinematic quality that suggests visuals to go along with the music.While holding down Mike McDonald’s guitar chair for the past 29 years, which is practically forever in the notoriously mercurial music business, Bernie Chiaravalle has amassed his own fine body of solo work.The self-penned Make Some Sense of This is his eighth solo record, coming just a year after his well-received One Bright Moment. Here, he flawlessly handles all vocals and instruments.Website: http://www.berniechiaravalle.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/berniechiaravalle2/?ref=bookmarksTwitter: https://twitter.com/bchiaravalleYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/berniechiaravalle
It’s been nearly a decade since Michael McDonald has released an album of original material, but he’s back with what may arguably be his finest effort over the course of his illustrious career. The 12 track album titled “Wide Open” is a musically diverse journey that explores elements of pop, rock, country, folk, jazz, blues and soul. Produced by Shannon Forrest, the album enlists an amazing cast of musicians, including Shannon, Amy Holland McDonald, Michael Landau, Robben Ford, Marcus Miller, Steve Porcaro, David Paich, Bernie Chiaravalle, Dan Huff, Tom Scott, Larry Goldings, Tommy Simms, Brandon Marsalis and many others. Yet, the heart of “Wide Open” is the lyrics. Perhaps for the first time in his career, Michael wears his heart on his sleeve, as he presents a very personal account of his path to becoming sober and forging ahead to live life in the open. Here to talk more about “Wide Open” is our good friend and past guest, Michael McDonald.
It’s been nearly seven years since we last connected with Bernie Chiaravalle, but it goes without saying that he’s been a busy musician. His long standing relationship with Michael McDonald has kept him moving on the road and in the studio. He played an integral role with Amy Holland’s latest album “Light On My Path” and he has released three additional solo projects since our chat with him back in 2010. It’s only been a year since he released his last album “One Bright Moment” but on April 18, Bernie is set to release perhaps his most introspective and personal album to date, “Make Some Sense Of This” - an album project that he wrote, performed, engineered and produced from start to finish. Here to talk to us more about this new album project is our good friend, Bernie Chiaravalle.
Bernie Chiaravalle has never been a musician that needed a spotlight to complete him as a singer-songwriter-musician. He’s always let his music do the talking during his career that has spanned nearly three decades. He’s worked with artists such as the Doobie Brothers, Larry Carlton and David Pack, who incidentally introduced him to Michael McDonald. Needless to say, his musical relationship with McDonald has flourished for nearly 25 years and has took Chiaravalle to new levels of creative writing, performance and collaboration. Once you listen to his latest solo release, THE WORLD AROUND ME, you’ll find that he understands the craft of songwriting very well. Musically, his capacity to take you through a labyrinth of unexpectedly fresh guitar chording progressions will keep you engaged. Lyrically, he will draw you into his each song in a calm, methodical way. Inside MusiCast is happy to welcome a very seasoned musician, Bernie Chiaravalle.
