Rick has been playing in the KC area for over 25 years in local rock bands, church worship teams and as a solo performer. His acoustic rock, pop and folk music was heavily influenced by the Beatles, the Eagles, James Taylor, John Mellencamp and Eric Clapton. Rick has performed as a vocalist and guitarist in a variety of venues including private parties, corporate functions, weddings, restaurants and musicals. His greatest pleasure comes when his audience hits the dance floor or just sings along to the songs we all know so well.
