It seems he's done it all. While he may be best known as the vocalist/bass player in the ELP spinoff, 3, with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer, Berry impressive list of credits include a stint fronting Ambrosia, and long running affiliations with Alliance, December People, and the Greg Kihn Band.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nBerry has released 5 solo albums, contributed to a number of high-profile tribute albums and has an impressive track record in the studio.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nHe grew up in a musical family in what would become Northern California\u2019s Silicon Valley. It didn\u2019t take long before he appropriated a Vox Continental organ from his father\u2019s music store. By the time he was a freshman in high school, his group had released a single that went on to become a regional favorite. Although he denies it, according to his school mates, Berry was known as his school\u2019s first full-fledged rock star. His bands became solid fixtures on the Bay Area college and club circuit, where they worked constantly. It was during this period that his interest in multi-track recording blossomed. Legend has it, Berry somehow finagled the very first Teac four-track recorder to arrive in the valley. It wasn\u2019t long before he had written and recorded an experimental twenty-two song \u2018rock opera\u2019. As his quest for knowledge grew he managed to snag a part-time position as \u2018assistant everything\u2019 person at a busy San Jose recording studio. By the time he was a senior in high school he had acquired a reputation as a solid performer and in-demand studio musician.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n2016 was a big year for Robert Berry as he met with pal Keith Emerson in Los Angeles to discuss a 30th anniversary release of the long awaited follow up to the debut 3 album. If that wasn\u2019t enough, he co-wrote 11 all new songs, produced and played Rekihndled, the Greg Kihn Band's first studio album in over 20 years.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe year 2017 was noteworthy for some major efforts. Early in the years, Berry, on bass and lead vocals joined with Terry Brock (GIANT, STRANGEWAYS) on lead vocals, Gary Pihl (BOSTON, SAMMY HAGAR, ALLIANCE) on guitar, and Matt Starr (ACE FREHLEY, MR. BIG) on drums, to form ALL 41. They release the band's debut album, \"World's Best Hope\". Simultaneously, he mounted a dedicated effort to complete his collaboration with Keith Emerson on the long awaited 3 follow up. That album, which took shape in 2016, was nearly shattered with the news of Keith Emerson tragic death. Ultimately and as a tribute to the friendship of Emerson and Berry, it somewhat painfully got back on track and is set for a summer of 2018 release date as 3.2 \u2013 The Rules Have Changed on Frontiers Music SRL.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nRobert's Website<br />\r\n<br />\r\nRobert's Facebook","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/2b9f5e98-53e2-4dff-a990-0f977a308696/logo_squish_full_3000.png"}
