ABOUT

Hi All,

I'Ve been working on my own project, The Dirty Sunshine, for years with various line-ups as well as working in other folks projects like my friends John Virag or the singer Mariko from NYC.

I've recently relocated and looking for folks to collaborate and perform.

I am a jazz guitar and recording and sound design major graduating from Duquesne in Pittsburgh, PA. I have 20+ years of experience playing guitar, bass, singing, drums, etc...

I also have conducted a new music ensemble in Pittsburgh that played music from Gino Robair, Anthony Braxton, Cage, Glass, etc...

The Dirty Sunshine has always been my exploration of the intersection of rock/punk with art rock and prog but I'm interested in playing most styles of music. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,
Rick(dot)tds(dot)sound (at)
