In February of 2001, Brent released his debut solo full-length "Inland" on St Louis based Kick Save Records. Inland developed into a superb culmination of roots reggae, rocksteady, and folk music.

Gathering musical influences from around the world Brent Berry continues to extend the coastline of traditional and original music with his 2007 release of "B-Sides". Available on High Water Records.
