Robert Berry

Robert Berry

Robert Berry is a San Francisco based guitarist, vocalist and producer with Magna Carta Records. He has performed with Hush, 3, and Ambrosia, Alliance, and dozens of sessions and tribute albums to bands such as Rush, Pink Floyd, Genesis, and Jethro Tull. The number of tribute albums done in this fashion has led to criticism from various sources, including Neil Peart of Rush, that they are in fact cover albums, not tributes.

Berry's name came into the spotlight in 1988, when he teamed with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer (of Emerson, Lake & Palmer fame) and formed the band Three. Their only album, "To the Power of Three", drew many criticism due to its sleek, radio-frendly and overpolished 80's sound, considering the progressive pedigree of both Emerson and Palmer. Also, the album was (unfairly, perhaps) compared with previous 1985 ELP-derivative Emerson, Lake & Powell outfit, which also launched a sole album, but performed better in critical and commercial terms.

In 1999, Berry produced and performed on "The Wheel of Time", an album billed as a soundtrack to the Robert Jordan fantasy series "The Wheel of Time".
