ZOOM EXCLUSIVE ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS
SiX By SiX, the progressive power trio comprising Ian Crichton
(Saga), Nigel Glockler (Saxon) and Robert Berry (3.2), recently announced the
release of their sophomore album ‘Beyond Shadowland’ on InsideOutMusic on April
26th, 2024. The band reconvened in Berry’s own SouIANnIAN CHRICHTONdtek Studios in the San
Francisco Bay Area in 2023 to bend, shape, hammer and caress their diverse
musical talents into 11 impressive new tracks.
With this album, they continue to define and build upon their unique
melodic space, welding guitar-driven rock, metal and prog into a unique and
powerful sonic setting.
The bands self-titled debut, released in 2022, established the
trio as a power chord-driven celebration of artistry, passion and persistence.
Prog Magazine said that the record was “exciting, often potent and demands
repeated listens”, while Classic Rock Magazine called it “an inspired opening
salvo that bubbles with chemistry.”
Ian
Crichton is best known as one of the founding members of
Saga, alongside his brother Jim. Saga went on to sell roughly 10 million albums
world-wide and continues to perform around the world. As the driving force
behind SiX By SiX, Ian takes a cunning turn, in assembling another potent band
but one that focuses on his guitar prowess.
This time with established players, each with a celebrated past, refined
skills, and unlimited potential.
IAN CRICHTON
Nigel Glockler began his career in 1980 as the drummer for the British band Krakatoa. In 1981 he found an opportunity with singer Toyah. By the end of the year, he joined metal legends, Saxon. Except for two brief absences, Nigel has been behind his massive drum kit as an integral part of Saxon ever since. His powerhouse drumming is the engine that drives SiX By SiX’s songs forwards relentlessly.
NIGEL GLOCKLER
Robert Berry first gained international attention with San Francisco-based Hush, releasing well-received recordings and then touring the USA. In the mid-1980s Berry’s first solo album garnered positive reviews in the most influential trade publications and attracted the attention of several major labels. At the suggestion of one of those labels, Robert moved to the UK to work with guitarist Steve Howe (of Yes fame) along with drummer Nigel Glockler to revitalize GTR. When GTR stalled, Robert partnered with British rock legends Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer to form ‘3’. With Emerson and Palmer, Robert achieved a top ten charting single and toured the USA. Robert’s melodic sensibilities complement Ian’s extraordinary guitar and Nigel’s signature drumming perfectly.

THE ROCK STAR CHRONICLES
BOOK TRAILER
BOOK REVIEW
-By Literary Titan (5) STARS
The Rock Star Chronicles by Ray Shasho, is a splendid book written by a music enthusiast who has poured their heart and soul into it. It’s a story of a boy who loved rock music, and his obsessive passion of it earned himself the name Rock Raymond. He went to school but instead was schooled in all matters of music while his peers were buried chin-deep in coursework. He then became a radio DJ and has now compiled a book on all interviews he held with Rock gods who raided the airwaves back in the 70s and 80s. It’s a compilation of interviews with outstanding vocalists, legendary guitarists and crazy drummers in the rock music scene. Each interview gives a reader an in-depth view into their personal lives and the philosophies that guide their lives which all serve to humanize these great icons. For readers who are old enough to call themselves baby boomers this book will bring old memories back to life. Millennials, on the other hand, may think of this book as a literal work of the Carpool Karaoke show.
The Rock Star Chronicles is a book I didn’t know I was waiting for. To come across a book that will talk me into trying something new. One brave enough to incite me to venture into new frontiers. This book made me a believer- I am now a bona fide Rock and Roll music fan.
Ray Shasho masterfully gets the interviewees talking. He smartly coaxes answers from them with crafty questions designed to get a story rolling out of them. The artists talk about diverse issues ranging from music, politics, and their social engagements. Having been on the music seen all his life, Ray Shasho knows the buttons to press, how to get them comfortable about talking about their lives.
The book’s cover is befitting of its subject matter with the leather look offering a royal background to the golden letter print. It speaks to how high a level rock music holds in the pecking order- arguably, modern music as we know it has originated from blues and rock music. The second noteworthy thing is the use of high-definition pictures to reference the musician being interviewed in every sub-chapter. This ensures that the book is for both original rock and roll lovers and aspiring new ones. Together is makes for a refreshing and consistently enjoyable read.
I recommend this book to rock music enthusiasts, aspiring musicians wondering what it takes and all readers curious to learn new things by going back in time.
