Sweetblood + Musician in Chapel Hill, NC

SEEKING

ABOUT

I left my band "Uncle Rico" in the Bay Area, when we moved to North Carolina in June of 2019. We focused on a setlist of the more lofty pieces from the 70's and 80's. We tried to do the classic rock tunes you grew up with, staying true to the way you remember them, but also adding in dance and high-energy tracks.
I was recruited into a start-up project here in NC that is taking off as a group called Blue Cup Riot (bluecupriot) and we’re having a blast. Great guys, great chops, and the audience agrees!
