They are longtime residents of Madison, Wisconsin and tour the United States extensively.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLou (for Louise) and Peter were married at one time—hence the common last name. They divorced, but remained friends and musical partners. (And, subsequently, they married again to new spouses.) Mostly, Peter writes the lyrics and Lou writes the music, but all their songs are collaborations.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey specialize in songs that make humorous observations about the human condition. For example, \"A Talk With Your Mother\" is about a parent horrified by her daughter's cursing. And \"Orange Cocoa Cake\" presents another mother attempting, on the phone, to tell a friend a recipe while her children demand her attention.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Berrymans release their work on their own label, Cornbelt.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2004, a musical revue Love is the Weirdest of All: The Music of Lou and Peter Berryman premiered at the Madison Repertory Theatre.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValdy's single \"A Chorus For Peter and Lou\" was written about them by Craig Wood when the two had a sojourn in Canada during the Vietnam War.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Lou+and+Peter+Berryman","playStationPath":"/stations/269447042/play","stationId":269447042,"bioPath":"/music/Lou+and+Peter+Berryman/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Priscilla+Herdman","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/943/94393020a21539720a28aaac349b11bc_md.jpg","artistName":"Priscilla Herdman","artistId":126937,"station_id":284512881},{"musicPath":"/music/Patty+Larkin","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d39/d3965503add14b8e75c6b119506cc78b_md.jpg","artistName":"Patty Larkin","artistId":102408,"station_id":280764138},{"musicPath":"/music/David+Massengill","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c77/c77e69508fdf7dd4a3e2d2a9504c2248_md.jpg","artistName":"David Massengill","artistId":110541,"station_id":282142074},{"musicPath":"/music/Paul+and+Storm","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/da6/da6b24f5c68763c58952db0bb75ccaa2_md.jpg","artistName":"Paul and Storm","artistId":112183,"station_id":282360034},{"musicPath":"/music/Libana+Folk+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/423/423868eadc62eb6cf74a1ac823961665_md.jpg","artistName":"Libana (Folk)","artistId":86557,"station_id":270025584},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Arrogant+Worms","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/92d/92d2cae4d6964b0d2a315120cf5f42d7_md.jpg","artistName":"The Arrogant Worms","artistId":81363,"station_id":268189757},{"musicPath":"/music/John+Roberts+Tony+Barrand","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/00b/00b6e594127662bb684f7514ee901445_md.jpg","artistName":"John Roberts \u0026 Tony Barrand","artistId":121791,"station_id":283860700},{"musicPath":"/music/Utah+Phillips","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/82a/82a3a083f3de45cdb47db48e772a9727_md.jpg","artistName":"Utah Phillips","artistId":125438,"station_id":284274666},{"musicPath":"/music/John+McCutcheon","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/086/086f77194d737d239c377038ee2adf01_md.jpg","artistName":"John McCutcheon","artistId":99362,"station_id":277832283},{"musicPath":"/music/Rob+Paravonian","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/aa3/aa3d7e2e723622415406057556f996a7_md.jpg","artistName":"Rob Paravonian","artistId":107541,"station_id":304195504},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Foremen","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2db/2dbf3abc74d8626625bc23c66ec2a55a_md.jpg","artistName":"The Foremen","artistId":85758,"station_id":269605677},{"musicPath":"/music/Shel+Silverstein","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/351/35118374471fd693a4ce6ccd41860e67_md.jpg","artistName":"Shel Silverstein","artistId":6497,"station_id":113932048},{"musicPath":"/music/Tom+Smith","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c08/c089aabe29e0807d23d30290a5ac47cc_md.jpg","artistName":"Tom Smith","artistId":462138,"station_id":401354421},{"musicPath":"/music/Warp+11","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b54/b54f2ed516a74451979b0736c3ab87fc_md.jpg","artistName":"Warp 11","artistId":117773,"station_id":283168685},{"musicPath":"/music/Garrison+Keillor","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7aa/7aa8deb75e58b6a98c201a11717adb6d_md.jpg","artistName":"Garrison Keillor","artistId":127457,"station_id":284746803},{"musicPath":"/music/Christine+Lavin","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/399/399ad0e7f5bdf2f452e86d0b23ff0dde_md.jpg","artistName":"Christine Lavin","artistId":85659,"station_id":269605663},{"musicPath":"/music/Vance+Gilbert","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/954/95408d6584d61f4220cba0f3faac9ee6_md.jpg","artistName":"Vance Gilbert","artistId":113170,"station_id":282569173}]}
