He then moved on to start writing his own music and playing at venues across the state. Aside from singing with UV, Owen is a professional photographer. All of that being said, the most important thing in Owen’s life is his two cats Mama and Baby. Yes those are their names.

Bob Berger

Bob’s fascination with the guitar began in the third grade, when his teacher, Ms. Young, would play her guitar during special occasions. This sparked a lifelong passion that led him to discover an old acoustic guitar and instructional book belonging to his father. Bob’s love for music flourished, and he created a game called ‘Stump Ms. Young’, challenging her to play various chords. (A game he never won. Ms Young, if you are reading this...Bob wants a rematch!) His stage debut took place two years later, and he went on to play in numerous school bands throughout his education. After attending Berklee College of Music, Bob joined a regional touring group and played in various local bands, recording with other musicians and playing in pit bands for high school musicals. Today, Bob is thrilled to be a part of Ultraviolet, a new chapter in his musical journey.
