Artist description Rick is a member of Blind Birds, a sort of Alternative/Rock/Americana band, with his cousin. Rick began his musical training by playing drums in his bedroom to his Beatles records. He eventually took up the guitar, as it was easier to carry around. His earliest musical memories are family vacations. His dad had a 4-track player in the car (these pre-dated 8-tracks), and would play tapes of Hank Williams alternating with his mother playing The Mamas & The Papas.
