Rick Berlin, the queer Boston music legend formerly the frontman of Orchestra Luna, Berlin Airlift, Rick Berlin: The Movie, The Shelly Winters Project, and currently of The Nickel & Dime Band, is known for his zany lyrics and unflinching wit. Exploring boyhood, family relationships, and the dynamic social workings of Boston through the decades, Rick Berlin's work is "uncategorizable. . . part punk, part, musical theater, part sentimental sap, part wordplay master. Gold" (Amanda Palmer).
