Kenneth Roy’s groundbreaking newest album ‘Chairman’ is released! This extraordinary collection of ten songs crosses genres and creates an enjoyable musical experience from beginning to end. The ‘Chairman’ got off to fast start with two pre-lol released hit singles “Let Your Love Come Down” and “Two of a Kind”. The newest single “Empty Heart” has held down the #1 Indie Single Chart for several weeks. (Aug/Sept 2020) Music on this album travels from the depths of Funk through Rock into R&B, Hot A/C and Gospel. Starting at the Chairman’s Desk, Funk is provided by the Live Horn Section and riveting virtual guitar solo, to the scary solitude of “Think I’ll Stay in the City Tonight”. The sweet gospel sounds of “Our Love Will Last” round out the album. You'll hear influences of some of the finest creative singer/songwriters from Steely Dan/Donald Fagen to Pink Floyd, Steve Winwood, Phil Collins and Al Jarreau throughout. The two main forces performing, Kenneth Roy and Daniel ‘Doctor’ Ryman, are the Singer/Songwriter and Engineer/Producer respectively. Both are multi-instrumentalists and long-time collaborators. Kenneth Roy has been playing Drums since the age of 4 & Keyboard since the age of six. Kenneth's Father, Lee Roy Berry influenced his son with Country Music/Rhythm & Blues at an early age. Later he took up Vocals & Percussion as more musical focal points. Kenneth Roy's Keyboard Mentors have been Dick Hindman & Si Perkoff, while his Drums & Percussion guidance come from Colin Bailey & Bob Belanski. More musicians that have influenced Kenneth include Band Director Bob Steele, Voice Instructor Emily Gates & Classical Piano Virtuoso Antonio Iturrioz. Classical Composer James Awahili is also a musical influence. Kenneth holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree from San Francisco State University in Humanities. Currently Kenneth Roy continues to write and record more new songs. These are quality recordings from an expanding Singer/Songwriter & Musician. Daniel ‘Doctor' Ryman's musical career spans 40 years of performance, recording, mixing and mastering with artists such as Quincy Jones (The Color Purple), B.B. King, Ray Lynch (Platinum albums), Peter Rowan ‘Texican Badman’ (Jerry Garcia-David Grisman), The Mighty Diamonds, Philippe Wynn (The Spinners) and Earth, Wind & Fire. His Northern California studio (AudioEmissary) has had the music of legends pass through both on his ears and fingers. Backed by world renowned saxophonist Richard Howell (Chaka Khan, Etta James, Carlos Santana, Buddy Guy, ) and powerful bassist Baron Chase (Marty Balin, Lester Chambers, Tony Williams, Jon Anderson, Clarence Clemens) the hot Duo transforms into a powerful Quartet. The additional juice of Danny Armstrong on trombone and Geechi Taylor on trumpet bring a large scale live band sound that one rarely hears on modern recordings. Live rhythm tracks and ‘old-school’ tracking techniques give the album a unique feel of both stunning modern audio clarity with analog warmth.
