Born in Norwalk, and raised in Orange, CT, Eric DiBerardino has been influenced by music since before he could walk. At age 12 (1991) his life was forever changed by his introduction to Hip Hop and the birth of Grunge. Following High School, he spent 6 years in Durango, CO performing in multiple bands and learning Live Sound Engineering. After another 6 years back in CT, Eric spent a decade in the Bay Area honing his skills as a bass player (most notably with Tea Leaf Green) and developing his talents in all aspects of venue production and management. His time managing Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA became a culmination of these experiences and hard work. A match made in heaven, Eric met the Torres family just before they purchased the venue, and has been an integral part of building, designing, and overseeing the everyday operations of Park City Music Hall.

Connor comes to Park City with over 10 years of restaurant experience and a special interest in Asian and Latin fare. His introduction to food began with making crepes at a European cafe, where he discovered not only his natural talent for cooking, but that he really enjoyed doing so for others. In his hunger for culinary experience, he worked his way up through kitchens of various cuisines, including a four year stint in the food truck world. Throughout his career, he worked closely with a handful of classically trained chefs, whose teachings in technique and mentality proved to be lastingly influential in cultivating the passion that drives him now. Prior to Park City, he was Garde Manger of beloved Westport take-out gem, Little Dumpling House, where he honed his sushi skills and learned the art of folding the perfect dumpling. Now combining the Torres family's Cuban heritage with his love for Asian food, Connor curates a menu of creative intermingling flavors, revealing another facet of Park City Music Hall’s many dimensions.
