I'm the lead singer and bass player for the legendary pop/rock band The Grass Roots, an author, a radio show host, and a solo artist with three CDs
Orlando, Florida is my home.
By age 18, I was "on the road"...and it has stayed that way since.
I was the singer for Chicago-area favorites, "Street Kids", "Dreamer" and the "All-Night Newsboys".
In 1992, I was named to "Billboard Magazine's Top 100 Up-and-Coming Songwriters". In 1994, I was honored with an Illinois Entertainer "Vocalist of the Year" nomination.
in 1995, I moved to Orlando. Soon after, I was asked to go on tour with of one of pop music's most recognizable bands; The Grass Roots, where I remain today.
Saw this Band every year@ the Deltona library and enjoyed every minute.
Response from American Pop 60's:
Thank you, Mr. Berlinski. The band had a wonderful time. The great people of Deltona are always such a joy to perform for. Hope to see you again, soon
