QUINN SULLIVAN Feb 26th 7pm Open Mic Feature

"The Mighty Quinn"

Who, by the age of 9 can say they've played guitar onstage with blues legend, Buddy Guy, been featured on TV supershows, Ellen Degeneres and Oprah Winfrey and is one of the guest artists appearing on Buddy's new CD which also features Eric Clapton, Robert Randolph, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi?

Quinn Sullivan can!! And that ain't all...read more

All that talent, yet when you meet him, he seems just like a regular kid, a little shy, even. Put a guitar in his hands, and he's anything but regular! We've had the pleasure of watching Quinn perform locally since he was about 6. Maybe you caught him on our stage during our John Lennon Bus Day Talent Show. Join us on Feb 26th to watch this rising superstar perform on our Cafe stage. And you'll be able to say...I saw him play at Rick's when he was only 9.

Show starts at 7pm. Admission $3 per person.

Dave Jackson to Feature Thurs, Jan 29th

The show starts at 7pm. Admission $3

Dave Jackson will have you falling off your chair laughing at his silly impersonations and grooving on his rich funk-folk-blues guitar.

His music is rooted in the wide-ranging aspects of the American songbook. Dave's style shows diverse influences from the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Arlo Guthrie, Mowtown, Stevie Wonder and Bob Wills of the Texas Playboys, but adds that unique Dave Jackson spin to each.

In ways that tantalize listeners, he is equally adept at translating Hendrix' electrifying sounds into funky & rich acoustic passages as he is in bringing Bob Wills' fast-talking guitar sounds back to life.

Then the next thing you know it, he'll morph into Muhammed Ali, Joe Frazier or Howard Cosell. You won't be able to leave without a smile on your face.

But, hey, that's what happens here at Rick's. "We'll always leave you smiling"

Early closing Dec 31st- Happy New Year!

Due to the severe snowstorm, we are closing at 3pm today. If you are crazy enough to go out tonight to celebrate the New Year, Please stay safe!

For all of us at Rick's, we wish you a Healthy & Prosperous 2009!
