'Berta, Neighbor

'Berta is originally from the Kansas City area and performed with the bands "Amberwood," "Arion" and "Touchstone" during the 70s and 80s. She moved to St. Louis in 1985 to obtain a Masters in Communications and to pursue a nonmusical career (much to her dismay.) Hoping to eventually return to the "best job in the world" of being a musician, she kept her hand in, singing for the occasional wedding or corporate gig, composing witty parody songs for friends and coworkers and performing the National Anthem for the Blues, Billikens, River City Rascals, River Otters and other local sports teams.

'Berta finally escaped from the corporate world in late 2009 and has once again been happily making her living as a musician since that time: She performs in the duo NOT WIRED RIGHT and the trio MUSYC. Additionally, you'll see her around town singing in independent- and assisted living residences as TallBerta, performing familiar songs with her original parody lyrics added to amuse and befuddle her audiences.
