About Rob Berry
Rob has worked as a performer, session player, guitar demonstrator and studio engineer and has released four of his own albums. His most notable accomplishment was working with Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones on Keith’s solo album ‘Talk is Cheap’. Since then he has worked and performed with numerous renowned artists in the UK and abroad. - Rob Berry began studying classical piano at the age of 7, but soon after seeing a Dr Feelgood gig in his teens, the piano was swapped for the blues guitar. In the 80’s Rob began a career as a recording engineer at Bermuda Sound Studios, this led to him engineering on Keith Richards 'Talk is Cheap' album produced by Steve Jordan. In '90 Rob moved on to work in a top London mixing studio, ’ Swanyard Studios’, from there he worked alongside of some of the best producers and engineers in London, including Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, My Bloody Valentine), Jazzy B (Soul to Soul), Adamski’s ‘Killer’, Bernie Sumner(New Order), Johnny Marr(Smiths) and Andy Farris ( INXS) just to name a few. After some time, the manic long hours took their toll and Rob really wanted to be a player not a tech. With Rob’s contacts in the studio business, he began to do session work on guitar for the likes of Tom Robinson, Chris White from Dire Straits and many other artists. In 1994 Rob worked at Earls Court as a guitar demonstrator for JHS, the distributors for Hughes & Kettner amps , Jackson and Encore Guitars. Rob also went on to develop a busy schedule of regular gigs in West London and the South East. In the early 90’s Rob headed back out to Bermuda for a summer gig in the tourist resorts and Pubs, this was fun , Rob got to jam with some of New Yorks finest bluesers, Poppa Chubby and Big Ed & the Side Pockets at the Oasis Club, with frequent trips to Florida & NYC. This was just too much fun and the holiday turned into a 13 year stay until, for family reasons, Rob returned to the UK in 2007. Since returning he has completed four albums and is regularly performing across the south.
