Orchestra Luna was an American rock and roll band of the 1970s who had two incarnations, the first producing a hard-to-categorize mixture of cabaret, Broadway musicals, and rock, and the second a somewhat more traditional mix of pop and rock. Rick Berlin, at the time using his birth name of Richard Kinscherf, composed most of their songs, sang, and played keyboards. Rick was the driving force of the band and is the only person who was a member in all the various lineups.
On their eponymous debut album Orchestra Luna, the band consisted of:
- Richard Kinscherf - Keyboards, Vocals
- Lisa Kinscherf - Vocals
- Liz Gallagher - Vocals
- Scott Chambers - Bass, Vocals
- Randy Roos - Guitars
- Don Mulvaney - Drums, Percussion, Vocals
- Peter Barrett - Narration, Vocals
The second major version of the band included:
