Rock/Review Rich Chambers - Cherry Cherry
Rich Chambers is kind of retro, but not really. He hints at country, but he isn't quite that. He is a little bit blues, modern rock, and also a little bit pop.

Essentially, just like what early rock n’ roll did, he is blending a bit of everything into one. Rich Chambers is Rock n' Roll Reimagined.
