I would love the opportunity to play in your private showcase!!
Decades as a Jazz Drummer in Chicago, a stint studying composition at Berklee, and playing drums in an alternative band in the 90's are unlikely preparation for life-long musician Rick Vines in his latest incarnation as a singer/songwriter. But it seems to be working.
"Rick has an broad music sensibility that draws from Folk, Jazz, Rock and the New Orleans sound. He incorporates all of these elements into an honest and straightforward expression of extraordinary songwriting that is not over crafted. He has a warm and almost conversational delivery that can be both intimate and stark, sometimes in the same song. I have shared the stage with Rick numerous times and I keep asking him, "did YOU write that?!?!?" - Brad Cole BradColeMusic
Showcases at FARM and NERFA were well received he had the pleasure of sharing them with new old and new friends such as Dede Alder, Robin Bienemann, Brad Cole, Heather Pierson and Elaine Romanelli
His songs are insightful and haunting with a laid back and soulful feel.
"Folk Alliance, FARM and NERFA have been a refuge and source of inspiration for me since I first attended a couple of years ago."
Rick also hosts a House Concert Series "Windrush Concerts", and is beginning a monthly residency at the Venue "Grassroots" in his hometown of Barrington, IL
