Barry Chase
Founder/Lead Singer/Guitar
Hollywood Pink Floyd was born out of Barry’s love for everything Pink Floyd. Barry began his musical journey back when he was 8 years old, playing with his friend David Speigelman, who only had a single snare drum and cymbal, while Barry strummed E and A chords on a $10 acoustic guitar. Born and raised in southern California. Barry’s first glimpse of Pink Floyd was on May 1, 1970, where he attended their concert at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. When he heard Astronomy Domine, Careful with that Axe Eugene and Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun, he was hooked. So much so, 6 days later, he went and saw them again at UCLA’s Pauly Pavilion. That 14-year-old Barry dreamed about one day performing those psychedelic songs live on stage. Barry continued with his Elementary School and High School band “Inner Soul” with members Matt Davis, Leonard Mermel and Alan Sperling. They played all the local school dances and competed in all the local Battle of the Bands. During that period, he played alongside with local musicians, David Freshman, Bobby Graham, Dan Schweitzer, and Sean Cassidy.
In 2017, Barry started toying around with a few songs he wrote, and connected with one of his old guitar buddies, Sheldon Cohn. Sheldon had stuck with music his whole life, so Barry felt he was the right guy to get with, to help him finish a song he had written about his wife, Linda.
After they finished what would be called “Time of Our Lives”, Barry performed the song in front of a small audience at Barry & Linda’s wedding. Barry caught the bug once again and started the search for his next band.
Barry then began his focus on a production of The Dark Side of the Moon. He assembled 7 amazing musicians along with his assistant Brittney Gallina, to help with sound, set up and making sure everything is where it supposed to be! Hollywood Pink Floyd was born! After 6 months of rehearsals, tweaking the sound, getting the production tuned to the highest standards, Hollywood Pink Floyd performed in front of almost 200 guests in a private Los Angeles setting. The response was overwhelming!
“Hollywood Pink Floyd is here. I am blessed to be working with this passionate group of musicians and look forward to seeing you all on our 2022 Southern California Tour.”
