Paige Renée Berry
Of HALF DREAM (ATX)
BIO
Paige Berry’s songwriting explores identity, overcoming trauma, & moving past fear. Floating melodies find punch in driving hooks that highlight vocal subtleties, landing somewhere between dream and tenuous reality. These songs were born from a love of storytelling, radical empathy, and unfiltered expression from artists like Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel, and Helen Reddy. Paige fronts Austin, TX indie rock band Half Dream, comprised of Paige Renée Berry (guitar, vocals), Jake Ames (lead guitar), Wes Armstrong (drums) and Vanessa Jollay (bass). Formed in 2018, Half Dream began with the name and songs of Paige Renée Berry and changed their moniker to reflect the ethereal and collaborative nature of the sound.
