Two elements that are rarely combined.... virtuoso guitar playing and musical taste.... Rick brings highly trained jazz guitar skills to a variety of styles, singing and playing through (of course!) jazz standards, but also including acoustic originals, covers of folk and classic rock and pop tunes, and new takes on tunes familiar to all. Volume is low to medium, allowing patrons to either listen fully, or continue to visit with friends. Rick has performed frequently at the SaskTel Jazz festival, the Medicine Hat Jazzfest, and innumerable coffee shops, house concerts, and folk venues in between. The music can be gentle or higher energy, and is always delivered with an ear to musicality, emotion, and style.
