Marina and Berna are an international folk/americana duo who divide their time between Marina’s native New England and Bernardo’s native Italy. Combining Marina’s sultry vocals & unusual melodies with the gritty edge of Bernardo’s slide guitar, soulful voice, and the sweet interjections of his mandolin, the duo’s sound has been refined over years together on the road, the stage, and in the studio. The pair is now at work on their fourth original record.
