Musical Experience
Rick started music at an early age, playing clarinet at age 8 and taking one-on-one lessons from a locally known composer named Roy Jonstano. As a kid, he traveled all over the state of Georgia performing in a band in front of schools for many years, and each time when the band came to Rick's school, he would perform solo in front of the whole school as part of the performance. (It was customary for whoever attended a school where the band was performing to do a solo for their own school) Rick has been performing live music since 1984 when he started out playing keyboards in Seeking Will. He soon became lead guitarist and lead vocalist, and played at picnics, parties, restaurants, and talent shows. The band later evolved into a more diverse, contemporary group named Scorpio Bridge. Scorpio Bridge played at bars and parties. After Scorpio Bridge, Rick auditioned as lead vocalist in Hall of Fame and was hired July, 1992. On July 27, 1992, Hall of Fame performed at Elis in downtown Portland, OR and won bookings through Pacific Talent into 1993. Hall of Fame performed part of the local circuit that way at places like Elis, Cisco & Ponchos, Key Largo, and The Moosehead. Later in the '90's, Rick played guitar and Keyboards along with lead and backup vocals in Portland's Rock band "Hotfoot" playing clubs around the area and along the coast.
