About Me:
Whether you first discover Oli Rockberger through his work as a singer-songwriter, producer, keys sideman, arranger, or as 1/3rd of acclaimed band/production team Mister Barrington, you'll find a distinctive musical voice running through the rich and varied work he does. Oli, whose musical talents brought him from hometown London to Berklee College of Music on a Full Scholarship in '99, on to Brooklyn NY where he now plies his musical trade, has shared stages and studios with musical icons Levon Helm & Jackie DeShannon, Grammy Winners Randy Brecker, Jesse Harris and John Mayer, jazz luminaries Les McCann & Charlie Hunter, and hip-hop royalty Common & Queen Latifa. As a solo artist, he has shared festival bills with renowned artists such as Maceo Parker, Jamie Cullum, Kirk Whalum, Roy Haynes and Hiromi, and has performed at prestigious venues and festivals including: The Lincoln Center (NYC), The Royal Albert Hall (London), The London Jazz Festival, The Barcelona Jazz Festival, Pizza Express Jazz Club (London), The Cotton Club (Tokyo), The Blue Note (Nagoya & NY), Jazz Cafe (London), and the John MayerCraft Cruise Music Festival (Bahamas). Current work includes performances with Mister Barrington alongside Zach Danziger and Owen Biddle in support of their forthcoming album "II" while Oli's forthcoming singer/songwriter album "Old Habits" will be released later this year (co-produced by Oli & Chris Abell). Current sideman work includes performing and recording with master song-craftsman James Maddock and trumpet legend Randy Brecker, for whom Oli recently contributed two original songs as co-writer for his forthcoming album.

... 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.
