RICH BERRY'S

ELECTRONIC PROMO PACK

Rich has been a practicing musician/songwriter for over 40 years, gravitating to the music he loves the best, the old delta acoustic blues. He throws in a tasteful mix of original songs reflecting that feel he loves so much. Rich plays rhythmic guitar, bottleneck slide resonator, a hypnotic harmonica, and a driving rhythm on a foot box to further deepen the rich sound he produces. All of this to accent his singing voice, which is smooth yet soulful, and reflects a full life.

Rich is a musician on the rise, with a growing list of accomplishments. He plays festivals and concerts around the midwest, and constantly works to improve his show and finesse.

“His mixture of folk styled blues is set apart from many other aspiring acoustic acts I've heard these days. He's unpretentious and doesn't try to cop any other style but his own. He pulls from his obvious folk roots with lyrics and then blends in his heavily delta-flavored and blues-informed guitar style. He's simply a great man with great music who's along for the journey of where his music will take him.”
