Wallace Carter Bryson (born July 18, 1949 [1]) is an American guitarist, best remembered for his time with the power-pop group Raspberries, famous for their hit Go All The Way. After the Raspberries split in 1974, Bryson co-formed the power pop group Fotomaker and became one of the leading members of the group.
After discussions between Carmen and Bonfanti about forming a new group, the first lineup for the Raspberries was Eric Carmen (rhythm guitar, vocals, piano, bass), Jim Bonfanti (drums, backing vocals), Wally Bryson (lead guitar, vocals) and John Aleksic (bass, guitar, vocals).
They said it would never happen. They were wrong. Jim Bonfanti, Wally Bryson, Eric Carmen & Dave Smalley—the original Raspberries—last performed together on stage over 30 years ago. Now, they are reunited to “Go All The Way” again.
Along with Wally Bryson and Dave Smalley their new band – Raspberries - produced a head-on collision with the progressive rock scene and coined the “Power Pop” sound, which featured explosive rock guitars combined with soaring two and four-part pop harmonies.
