SiX BY SiX - Ian Crichton, Nigel Glockler, Robert Berry, Saga, Saxon, Beyond Shadowland, The Journey Internal

The SiX By SiX Story

SiX BY SiX is composed of three highly accomplished, musicians each hailing from disparate corners of the globe each with the pedigree to back up the claim. They are guitarist Ian Crichton, recognized as one of the top rock players in North America from the acclaimed Canadian progsters Saga, along with powerhouse drummer Nigel Glockler of English heavy metal masters Saxon and from the U.S., Robert Berry, best known for his association with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer in their group ‘3’ on bass, keys and vocals. The roots of the band can be traced back decades to a time when Glockler and Berry were together as part of Steve Howe’s continuation of GTR. Then there’s the ‘Asia’ connection where Ian and Nigel contributed to sessions and recordings, while Robert was the link for his guitarist friend Pat Thrall joining the band. Time marches on, paths cross and fate brings the guys together again, born from a trans-Atlantic conversation with a British industry insider that sparked Ian Crichton in the Toronto area to call on Robert Berry on the coast of California, who then reached out to Nigel Glockler at his home on the south coast of England. Plans were hatched. Songs were written and recorded. The chemistry is intense and immediate This is....

Six by Six - Circle of Influence
Innerviews
by Anil Prasad

The careers of multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Robert Berry, guitarist Ian Crichton, and drummer Nigel Glockler have intersected with some of the most important musicians and bands of the last 50 years. Each musician is associated with specific rock permutations, but there’s no pigeonholing any of them. They’ve all touched on virtually every rock and pop construct imaginable. And they’ve combined those experiences into a new trio called Six by Six that's about to release its self-titled debut album. It’s an anthemic, guitar-driven effort, infused with highly-creative, mercurial arrangements. Berry’s soaring, soulful vocals, and keyboard and programming work elegantly support its 10 diverse songs. Crichton lets loose across its tracks, ripping and shredding with wild abandon. Glockler provides nuanced and varied drum performances, informed by his art-rock and fusion influences.

The album’s lyrics are timely, thought provoking, and offer an optimistic view on everyone’s personal possibilities in life, as well as hope for our species that’s in the midst of dealing with myriad existential crises. Perhaps most importantly, it’s just serious ...

The Journey Internal - Graphic Novel companion to the new Album Available Now

THE JOURNEY INTERNAL, A Graphic Novel is based on the songs of SiX By SiX, featuring a collaboration between the band and acclaimed Chicago-based artist J.C. Baez
Though not conceived as a concept album the band and the artist have woven the songs into a compelling tale of one man’s adventures and struggles. THE JOURNEY INTERNAL is a poignant and captivating story of his quest to find beauty and peace. Drawn in dramatic graphic detail, it chronicles the journey of Reign searching for sunlight in a very dark world. Following him from the highest highs to the lowest lows. The pages turn from battles of fire to demons in dungeons, from the confines of Reign’s inner mind to the realities encountered on the streets. From his solitude in battle to finding inspiration from a dream not yet realized.

Jimmie Jones of Pop Culture Kaboom says of The Journey Internal graphic novel - " ...the cosmic existentialism would make the likes of Jack Kirby proud...I do believe this one is worth your time and money"

PCK logo “... very interesting concept and for readers who like heady story crafting with equal measures of artwork that help tell the story, then I do believe this one is worth your time and money. If I didn’t know it was a companion piece to an album, the story could stand on its own. I however know (and now you do to) that it fits with the album and try as I might, that piece feels missing, and I do want to know.... "
