Peter Zurblis -Open Mic Feature 9/20/12

Peter Zurblis grew up immersed in the folk and rock music of the sixties and seventies and beyond. He has developed a passion for guitar and vocal interpretations of this deep pool of influence. Peter’s inspirations include, but are not limited to, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Neil Young, The Band, and John Prine along with contemporaries like Mark Errelli, Laurie McKenna, and Richard Shindell.


Self taught on the guitar, Peter focuses primarily on folk and some rock music. He uses his voice and the harmonica for accompaniment. Peter has attended WUMB’s Summer Acoustic Music Week in New Hampshire which has allowed him to play with some of the nation’s best musicians.

Peter loves playing ‘around the campfire’, at gigs, for friends and family, house parties, and open mikes, especially the Rick’s Music World family. His main goal though is to just have fun and bring enjoyment to his audiences.

Our Thursday night Open Mic held in our Cafe is our most important community service effort, providing a casual, family-friendly performance venue for the members of our musical community of students, customers and visiting local/regional/national/international performers from beginners, and semi-pro to pro. Open Mic is open to the public and people tell us that its a great listening room. The superb sound quality is powered by the Bose L1. You won't find an audience more supportive and encouraging..they are a special ingredient that makes for the great VIBE here on Open Mic night.

The Prairie Dogs -Open Mic Feature Aug 16

On August 16th-- Open Mic Features:  The Prairie Dogs

The Prairie Dogs are a combination of sounds of older country music and a slight touch of 50's and 60's. They love to sit around and play good old country music, and have discovered that crowds of all ages enjoy listening to them.

Al brings a simple clean style of playing. Ernie brings rhythm and good harmony. And Roger brings his own unique style of playing to make a great mix. They have played a number of open mics in the area, but always make their way back to Rick’s, where the crowd always gives them a great welcome. This is their first time as a feature, but they will give it their all.

Friends Joe on bass and Bill on drums will give the “The Dogs” a well-rounded sound. They may even have a mystery guest do an old country favorite.

Come on down and give them a listen. The Cafe will be open with great food, and all the other players and singers will be in great form.

The Prairie Dogs..Al Pittsley, Roger Rebeiro and Ernie Breau
