October 10, 2016Rick is a Great Musician!
Rick performed for a retail event at our nursery last Saturday. He arrived promptly and was ready to entertain within 15 minutes! He arrived with a sound system, guitar, and some super vocal talent. We were very pleased with his song song selection and his pleasant attitude. Rick provided great ambiance for our event. Many thanks to Rick and his wife for making our event a success!

Rick is so amazing, versatile and awe inspiring....
Met Rick 15 years ago In Germantown, Tn adjacent to Memphis. I'm a Sound engineer first and foremost, song writer musician further down the list. I was fortunate and grateful to record Rick in my home/garage studio at the time. We became friends and I helped run his sound and setup/tear down there at a Staple Restaurant/Bar in Germantown.
Rick is consistently inconsistent! I mean in the most positive way. Every night he would Bring it man.... and every night was different. He gets into the Crowds and reads them. They really dictate where he takes his music.
His acoustic style is unique accomplishing rhythmic magic that's fun and entertaining.
Ricks original songs are well worth buying listening to. You won't be disappointed.

Rick played at our family reunion for 100+ people of all ages. His music selection was perfect from happy hour through dinner and on into the night of dancing. He was great and very professional!
