Just Rick is a solo guitarist, vocalist and percussionist living in the greater Asheville area. Inspired by the smoky mountain melodies of Americana, he delivers music firmly rooted in the influence of blues, country and classic rock. Among his original works, Rick provides a wide variety of covers ranging from modern to classic hits.

He got his start in music early on, playing drums in his high school band Green Steam. His talents carried over to the bands Full House and The Old Men, later leading him to form Identity Crisis with close friends in Sheboygan Falls, WI. Identity Crisis evolved into a long run with successful trio IC3, where he played festival stages across the midwest.
