Artist History Rick grew up in Memphis TN., a lover of good music and artists that stood out: The Beatles, BeeGees, Heart, Fleetwood Mac and ofcourse, Elvis. After moving to Atlanta, GA., he felt the chemistry between male & female singers, offered a greater possibility for point of view, harmonies and would be more interesting for the audience. He released his 1st CD, “Church of One” in 1997. It made quite a stir with critics and was filled with his interpretations of influences: Blues, Pop/Rock, Alternative Country, good melody and great lyrics. He formed a group to do live shows and titled them, ‘Drawing Lines’. Rick wrote the majority of the material and won two Billboard Songwriting Awards over the next few years. They performed all over local TV, music venues, showcases, festivals and along with Indigo Girls, Shawn Mullins and Michelle Malone, represented the best in Atlanta’s Music scene. Unfortunately, the challenges of keeping a group together and replacing members finally brought him to realize he had to go it alone. The new CD, “STRETCH”, has just been released and represents his best work to date! It offers a new level in his songwriting and took 2 years to complete. If features Kristen Justice & Kristin Bach on vocals, Award winning cello player, Nan Kemberling, Rick playing the majority of guitars and keyboards and the best studio players in Atlanta. It was produced by Rick, his former band mate David York, and recorded at Sonica Recording(rated by AUDIO magazine as one of the ten top studios in the world).
