Overview

Hello!
I specialize in the increasingly popular musical practice of live looping and perform classic rock, soul, pop, and R&B covers from the 1960s through the 2,000’s.

Insured, Professional, punctual, friendly and always grateful.

During my live looping performances, I use a looper and amp modeling so I can control the process with a single volume knob, going from quiet to lively for whatever is requested.

Live looping is the practice of laying down percussion and rhythm parts in real time, in front of an audience, to create a song that sounds like it is being performed by a small group.

What to expect

Rick uses a loop pedal to build live loops on the fly which creates a multi-instrimentalist sound without the need for excess space and volume. Rick is sure to create a cool vibe and with out intruding with volume, entertain your guests for hours.

About

Hello, I am live looping artist performing R&B, Pop, Soul and Classic Rock covers from the 60's through the 2,000's (with some original songs as well). My performances create a soulful vibe that will entertain your guests or simply provide ambient background and instrumental music as requested.

Insured, professional, punctual, friendly and always grateful.

With several decades of experience performing and recording music and having been signed to major recording contracts two different times, I have been fortunate enough to play music professionally. For live looping solo performances, I use amp modeling and a looper - so everything is completely controllable with a volume knob. Essentially I am a one man band that can go from whisper quiet to more lively for whatever is requested.

Bio:
In addition to my live looping solo performances and playing with several local cover bands, I perform the role of Keith Richards in three different well known southern California Rolling Stones tribute bands: Satisfaction, The Hollywood Stones and The Ultimate Stones. I have been signed to Atco/Atlantic and Vineyard Records and was a founding member of "Outlaw Blood" Atco/Atlantic Records and "The Voices" MCA Records (I co-wrote 5 songs on this album). My songs and performances have also appeared on HBO, The Discovery Channel, MTV, CMT, A&E, Oprah, RuPaul and more. I also co-wrote, produced and performed 7 songs (including the opening and closing songs) appearing in the 2014 movie "The Identical" (wide released in over 5,000 theaters nationwide) - starring Ray Liotta, Ashley Judd and Seth Green.

Additional booking notes

I am self contained, perform at any volume and take up vary little space.
