R I C K V I N E S
songwriter
"It’s a witty, winning performance,..... a slate of songs that ought to propel him to the front ranks of Chicago indie voices. He’s a gifted lyricist, and some of the tunes have lines that knock you flat with the painterly brilliance of their imagery" - Robert Rodi - New CIty 11/23/18
Rick has a 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.
