My latest single for the month of August. It describes the evolution of curiosity and how it changes as we age.
"Rick's music combines the delicious hooks and power of Cheap Trick, Big Star, XTC and Matthew Sweet with the earnestness and depth of Tom Petty and Dawes. His songs hit with the punch of power pop while exposing the heart of a timeless rock storyteller. His music sticks with you -- polished enough to shine, raw and true enough to hit home."
Will Robertson, Grammy-Nominated Producer and Engineer
My cover of the totally awesome Missing Persons song! I love the groove this song has, so much so I bought the 45" single when it originally came out. Never imagined I would end up making my own version.
My second single to be released this year! A song about finding one's purpose and rediscovering the joy and excitement in making art.
I'm very excited about releasing my first single! It's from my album, Cicada Skies, coming out later this year. I'll be releasing more songs and videos soon. Thanks for giving it a listen.
