Rick returns to Home County Folk Festival 2011. This festival is very dear to Rick’s heart as it was one of the starting points of his career where he performed at the very first years of this festival back in the 1970’s.
Rick is dedicating this show to the memory of his late great friends Willie P. Bennett, Colleen Peterson and Jackie Washington.
Appearing with Rick on Friday night (main stage) will be Mikey Ethelston on harmonica, Jeff Laughton on bass and Malcolm Gould on drums.
Main Stage show: Friday, July 15, 2011, 7:45 PM to 8:30 PM, and 2 workshops on Sunday, July 17, 2011
