Chris Berry Trio with Steve Kimock :: 03.01.10 :: Ukiah Brewing Company :: Ukiah, CA
 Kimock & Berry – CB3 :: 03.01 :: Ukiah, CA |
The Chris Berry Trio returned to the certified organic confines of the Ukiah Brewing Company once again, this time with guitar legend Steve Kimock in tow, and gave the Redwood Empire crowd a lesson in feel-good fun and psychedelic exploration.
The evening began with a solo set from Steven Bates on acoustic guitar, who at first struck me as a woodsy version of James Blunt mixed with the voice of Bob Dylan. As the crowd packed in, Bates utilized a strong catalog of covers to raise the temperature on a damp Monday night. Launching into a strong rendition of The Beatles’ “A Day in the Life,” Bates evoked some Phish-y thoughts and a sing-along from the eclectic and equally colorful crowd. Bates also showed off his mandolin skills with a heartfelt rendition of Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds” that immediately had this Widespread Panic fan thinking of John Bell and the Marley raps he peppers throughout versions of “Stop-Go.”
Previously when CB3 visited Ukiah last summer, Berry brought with him longtime friend and Panjea member Michael Kang of String Cheese Incident fame, but the revolving door of CB3 guest musicians had turned and with it came Steve Kimock. Throughout the nation, and the West Coast in particular, Kimock has made guest appearances with a plethora of bands and brings with him a legion of loyal followers – for good reason, too. Kimock, Berry and Aaron Johnston and Jesse Murphy, both of Brazilian Girls (though Murphy is no longer an active member), took the stage to show Ukiah just what they had up their sleeves.
 Kimock – CB3 :: 03.01 :: Ukiah, CA |
Opening with “Come Away,” Berry wasted no time in getting out his unique mbira and filling the Brew Co. with its xylophone-meets-organ sound, and the crowd loved it. From Kimock’s upstroke guitar riffs to the bouncy, rolling tones of the mbira, the inimitable sound of CB3 was locked in and the kettle was starting to boil. I’ve come to expect that the soundscapes Berry and the band create can often be so rich that they’re almost visual, and this show was more of the same.
The previous CB3 show in Ukiah featuring Kang kept with a mostly island-like, calypso groove, but Kimock brought an entirely different flavor. With a row of effects pedals in front of him that looked like he could launch rockets, Kimock did just that. Following the opening verses of “Start Over Again,” Berry said, “Take it, Stevie,” and the ensuing solo dipped into an inspired jam that resonated through the room leaving mouths agape. Creating an almost Egyptian feel, Kimock took the jam into the depths of world beat downtempo before igniting the crowd with his fluid style of searing electronica and spacey interplay. Johnston and Murphy kept the first set flowing with a quick drum and bass solo as Kimock’s nimble fingers danced up and down the fretboard over the top. From there, the band uncorked a track that sounded like something from The Disco Biscuits‘ catalog thanks to the flavorful combination of guitar and pedal magic.
If CB3′s first set was all about structure and composed rhythm, then the second set was an experimental free-for-all with Kimock let loose on almost every track, stirring the crowd like a bowl of psychedelic soup. While Berry made up lyrics on the fly about the sky splitting Redwood trees of Mendocino County, the crowd stayed engaged as they fist pumped in unison. As the set drew to a close, Berry was in typical madman form onstage, multitasking between the bongos and mbira while keeping up with the vocals the whole time. With one track left, Kimock and Berry squeezed out the last of the crowd’s energy with a huge jam that touched on elements of jungle, calypso and some old fashioned rock & roll. As the jam reached its final crescendo with Kimock’s guitar placed in his lap, a good friend turned to me and gave a colorful conclusion about the show: “Steve Kimock is the Doctor Digital of the lap licks on guitar.” I think that about sums it up.

CHRIS BERRY TRIO FEATURING STEVE KIMOCK ANNOUNCES WEST COAST SHOWS
 Chris Berry |
What happens when you put African grooves born in the ghettos of Zimbabwe with the ground breaking guitar work of San Francisco’s scene and combine it with New York City’s urban electronica? The West Coast is about to find out.
Joining together for their first multi-night tour, and performing under the guise of Chris Berry Trio (CB-3), Chris Berry has arranged his most interesting collaboration yet. Featuring Steve Kimock alongside the rhythm section of Aaron Johnston and Jesse Murphy (Brazilian Girls) comes an explosive cross-cultural musical experience for music lovers of all types. The 10-day tour will maneuver along the West Coast including dates in Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Eugene and Portland, OR.
Music first touched the Grammy award winning Chris Berry as a teen living in the heart of Zimbabwe where he carefully learned the indigenous rhythms of Africa on the sacred Mbira (African Thumb Piano). His ability to speak out against the tyranny of the Zimbabwean regime through the art of music won him overnight success across the country and in the World Music market, bringing his music around the globe.
Since then, Berry has performed on the stages of the 2000 Olympics, the Sydney Opera house and the nation’s largest festivals across the United States with his project Panjea. 2010 finds the “Afropop Superstar” (SF Chronicle) a multi-instrumentalist with grace on Mbira, the hand drum, as well as a gifted singer-songwriter whose voice is often compared to Sting.
Collectively, CB-3 has the ability to bring together three decades of music history tightly fitted into one anthology adorned with cutting-edge improvisational guitar, hip-hop and elements of modern electronica. Show goers can expect both a dance ready experience as well as an intimate view into music provoked by both the past and present.

Chris Berry Trio w/ Kang | 07.17 | Ukiah

Chris Berry Trio with Michael Kang :: 07.17.09 :: Ukiah Brewing Company :: Ukiah, CA
 CB3 with Kang :: 07.17 :: Ukiah, CA |
With a little help from The String Cheese Incident‘s Michael Kang, the Chris Berry Trio brought some cool, island vibes to Ukiah on a sweltering Friday night in July.
The Ukiah Brewing Company, with its certified-organic menu, was the perfect spot to choose for a fundraiser benefiting EcoMotion, the October block party in the name of sustainability taking place in Fort Bragg. Although afternoon highs of more than 100-degrees created a sweaty setting for the night, the four-piece opener, High Heat, didn’t mind. Wasting no time in giving the heady Emerald Triangle crowd what they wanted, High Heat busted into a classic by Phish. As soon as the opening riffs of “My Friend, My Friend” came humming off the pickups plenty of people in the crowd, myself included, took notice. Following a good reception for “My Friend,” High Heat launched into original material and lubed up the crowd for what was to come.
Fresh from the String Cheese reunion at Rothbury (read the review here), Kang joined Berry for a seven-show tour throughout Northern California and Oregon with Aaron Johnston and Jesse Murphy, both of Brazilian Girls, rounding out the core of CB3.
Opening with a free-form, improv jam that featured Berry chanting “Ukiah” over the top of an island-sounding beat, the tone was set for an evening that would blend world sounds, live instrumentation and electronics through Berry’s unique perspective. Much like the opener, CB3 linked up quickly and dropped into dub-filled songs and jams that pleased the reggae-friendly crowd of sandals, bare feet and socks that covered the dance floor. Whether it was Kang’s electric mandolin work or the unique, organ-like sound of Berry’s one of a kind mbira, CB3 officially whisked everyone off to the oasis with the free spirited feel of “Come Away.”
 Berry on the mbira :: 07.17 :: Ukiah, CA |
But upstroke guitar and dub beats weren’t the only tricks up their sleeves. One of the strongest songs of the first set was the psychedelic calypso of “Stronger,” which showcased Berry’s songwriting strengths, as the crowd was up in arms at his message of self-empowerment. And the ensuing jam wasn’t too bad either. With Johnston and Murphy pounding out the low end and padding the bass, Kang took a moment to let loose on a solo that showed why he and his other band had successfully sold out Red Rocks Amphitheatre for four nights back in 2007 (read the review here).
The second set picked up where the first left off with the same psychedelic synthesizer sound from “Stronger” reappearing during the opening. I’m not sure if I was the only one who noticed it, but that synthesizer was eerily familiar to some of the sounds I’ve heard Kyle Hollingsworth use when playing with String Cheese, which I believe added to the palpability of it all.
Much like I’ve seen from Berry during Panjea sets at festivals, he isn’t one to let the energy die down quickly, which was apparent as the band launched into the raucous dance party portion of the night, the one-two punch of “Booty Bump” and “Come & Play.” From here on, the rest was a blur of gyrating waists, fists pumping, hands waving and even a few people spinning in circles. CB3 had the crowd hooked, and with a title like “Booty Bump,” who could resist?
Thinking the evening was over, Berry and friends left the stage, but the zealous crowd’s cheers for an encore spilled into the streets and the band returned to the stage. Back on stage, Berry was something like the mad hatter as he bounced around from vocals to percussion and back to mbira, which looks something like a wooden keyboard made of spoon handles. But Berry wasn’t the only one feeling the love. An enthusiastic Kang looked blown away as the crowd poured the last of its energy into those final moments before drifting away from the oasis.
