Live Music Saturdays feat Chandler Berardi
Chandler Berardi is an independent artist born and raised in Brantford, Ontario. Growing up in a house full of music, she discovered her passion for singing and performing at a very young age. Throughout her life, Chandler used music as her therapy. Writing became instrumental in overcoming lost friendships, heartbreaks, and being able to make sense of her emotions. Over the last 13 years, Chandler has challenged herself to be a well-rounded musician, learning cover songs from all different genres so her audience can walk away hearing at least one song they recognize. She loves finding ways to put her own spin on popular songs, breathe new life into classics and surprise the crowd with a good throwback.
Chandler believes in the power of music to transform a day, bring people together and make them feel things—and she loves being the one to make that happen.
