      • WHAT I DO

         

        Musician

        I play bass! Mostly double bass; a.k.a. the stand-up or upright bass. I play tons of classic bluegrass as well as other American roots styles. I have played in bands that play strictly first generation bluegrass aS WELL AS bands that incorporate blues, folk, reggae, swing, gypsy jazz and rock. I also play electric bass guitar and a bit of Clawhammer BANJO and dobro too.

        Live Event Production and Sound Engineering

        With over 20 years of experience, I produce independent live concerts covering all aspects of the event. I also provide sound engineering for live events specializing in small to medium, intimate acoustic instrument-based concerts.

        Here are some samples of my work on bass in the studio

        (Try listening with actual speakers or headphones. You won't hear much bass on a cell phone or laptop)

      • Production Management and Sound

        broken image

        As a production manager and festival coordinator, I have years of experience supervising sound operators and stage crews at multi-stage events and festivals. I have supervised and provided leadership for planning and logistics in all facets of live music events. I have also independently produced concerts in Connecticut in small to medium venues, managing all aspects of the events. In 2013, I co-produced The Concert for Healing at the Ridgefield Playhouse along with Peter Yarrow and Tony Arancio; this concert was aired on PBS.

        As a sound engineer, I have provided live sound reinforcement for many artists including Pete Seeger, Lucy Kaplansky, Dar Williams, Tom Chapin, Guy Davis, David Amram, Josh White Jr., Suzzy Roche, Lucy Wainright, and Richard Shindell.

        "With Rick mixing sound, it felt like I was in a really great club in NYC. The sound was amazing"

        ~Lucy Kaplansky, Billboard-charting singer/songwriter
