Details:
Greetings Listeners! Ready for something completely new and different from New York City''s ultra cool songwriter, Diana Berry ? Why not add Very Berry to your music collection ? Mastered by legendary music icon Greg Calbi (the Beatles, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Robert Palmer, The Ramones, Bruce Springsteen,etc.). Mixed by Tim Hatfield (Keith Richards, Misfits, Steve Earle) co produced by Adam Charity (P.I.C., Marianne Faithfull), Very Berry dusts off those old classic tones with a shot of Electro Pop. Very Berry, the all new thirteen song CD from trend setting songwriter, Diana Berry. In a recent interview Diana talks about her latest work:

"The album reflects a very strong influence of energy. I definitely had a muse. The songs are all very inspired. VERY BERRY, which was named by friend, THE VERBS lead singer, MEEGAN VOSS, explores the whole vintage sound vibe mixed with contemporary rhythms, effects, loops, extensive pedals, and synthesizers. Specific guitars, Fender Telecaster, Taylor 12 string, Martin 00 and multi layered vocal tracks recorded by James Murray''s custom designed microphones as well as the classic Neumann. We recorded digitally and then outboard mixed with old reverbs and effect boxes from the 1960''s and 70''s...Specifically British staple and BEATLES favorite, the Fairchild (I remember while interviewing mixing engineers my first question was do you have access to a Fairchild?) to create unique warm vintage, tones that the digital process couldn''t capture.

I had the pleasure of working with fantastic people beginning the process with co producer/engineer ADAM CHARITY. Adam grew up surrounded by music (father, DAVE CHARITY, was a disc jockey at WPLJ during the 70''s) and has been working in recording studios since his teens. He has a huge musical encyclopedia memory and is also a very talented musician.

A wide variety of guests made the recording sessions always varied and entertaining.

DAN WHITLEY, younger of brother legendary guitarist, CHRIS WHITLEY, lent his original genius guitar licks on TWO TIMES and RUDIMENTS.

ABE FRISHMAN, Nashville Bass man, played on all the tracks giving the rhythms great depth and solid emotional bottoms.

Hip Hop sensation, P.I.C.''s, band members showed up for a few sessions; ZULU on trumpet and HORNY JEFF on saxophone. These guys are amazing players. I wasn''t sure cause I''d say things like play it like Burt Bacharach (LET''S RUNAWAY) or you know like the Sax in Savoy Truffle (SUPER SENSUAL) and they''d immediately hook into the vibe and it would be perfect. Also P.I.C. DJ, UN-G WASMABATI, gave us some hot original scratches for WILD HORSES cover.

Next Violinist/Actress - SUSAN MITCHELL came in and whipped out these intense violin tracks (TWO TIMES, NEXT TO YOU, DOWN ON THE FARM) that sounded great against the electric instruments.

Italian/Greek Soprano, DONATELLA MOLTISANTI, offered perfectly haunting operatic background vocals while accomplished American actress, CHRISTINA HAAG, added a powerful dose of sophistication reciting narrative based on the ideologies of Joseph Campbell, Friedrich Nietzsche and Greek Mythology on ATHENA.

I found my Fairchild in artistic mixing master, TIM HATFIELD. He and ROSCOE (former JOAN JETT AND THE BLACK HEARTS guitarist) run COWBOY TECHNICAL SERVICES, an amazing recording and mixing studio in Brooklyn, NY, full of vintage and contemporary gear.

Finally the frosting on this extraordinary project came from world renown mastering God, the one and only GREG CALBI at STERLING SOUND. Greg''s client list is like the who''s who in the history of modern music. On the wall in his incredible studio is a letter from JOHN LENNON that reads something like whatever you think ...I trust your ears.

All in All it was perfectly profound. I feel very grateful to be on earth and to have had the opportunity to create music with such talented individuals. I especially thank MEEGAN VOSS and STEVE JORDAN for being incredibly supportive and steering me in the right direction."

Diana Berry can sing..... her voice is as versatile as her musical style...soulful range...raw emotion...enchanting listening experience

Diana is the exception with equal parts Mick Jagger swagger and the unpredictable fragility of Cat Power.

Diana Berry packs a vocal punch like the divine Debbie (Harry) herself.

All her romanticism is couched in spiky layers of British invasion guitar chords and energetic romping

A New female voice in the world of music with much to offer Diana Berry.

Energy. That is what Diana Berry exudes.

Ms. Berry crosses many different styles of music such as punk, disco, straight ahead rock and roll and even balladry for an eclectic mix that works well.

Her voice is a classic rock voice, full of swagger and influences as Debbie Harry and Patti Smith.
