About Me:
 
This NYC based (London Born) Pianist and Singer/Songwriter won a Full Tuition Scholarship to attend Berklee at the tender age of 19, and has since appeared at an array of top international venues and festivals as a leader and sideman including: Brecon Jazz (UK), Pizza Express (London), The Jazz Cafe (London), Charlie Wright's (London), The Lincoln Center (NYC), The Blue Note (NYC), The Bitter End (NYC), BAM (NYC), The Cotton Club (Tokyo), The Phoenix Jazz Festival (Kobe, Japan), The John Mayer Craft Carrier Cruise (Bahamas) and KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic Live Sessions to name just a few . He has also appeared either live or on record with many world class musical artists such as Les McCann, Mocean Worker, Bob Reynolds & David Ryan Harris, Hiram Bullock, Randy Brecker, Dave Fiuczynski, Gregoire Maret, Tony Grey, Zach Danziger, Hiromi, Janek Gwizdala, Chris "daddy" Dave, JoJo Mayer, Jackie De Shannon and numerous others. Production credits include Tony Grey's critically acclaimed Chasing Shadows (Abstract Logix/Universal) and Cariad Harmon's forthcoming Four Letters (Mowo Inc). Oli is currently working on a number of exciting projects including a new solo album, and a collaborative record with prodigious drummer/producer Zach Danziger (check out "Yeah I know that" in the music player on this page and visit www.myspace.com/danzigerrockbe rger in top friends). Oli has become a firm favorite at top NYC venues such as The Rockwood Music Hall and The 55 Bar, where you can check him out regularly (see schedule for details). For a drawn out and far more pretentious bio, please visit Oli's Website www.olirockberger.com. You can also pick up Oli's two indi albums "Hush Now" and "The Oli Rockberger Band" on iTUNES, www.cdbaby.com, or www.artonearth.com (in each case just type "Oli Rockberger" in to the search engine). Enjoy.

"Right Thru Me" went ..... Right. Through. Me.
... Absolutely stunning. The mark of a great vocalist... when you believe and feel what they're singing about. Gorgeous lyric. Some of your chord choices just send goosebumps from my head to my toe. Your solo ... you're chasing after "Lady Music" herself - Phew.... My ears have been taken on such a journey. Thankyou.
