GeneralSOME QUOTES:

"...a remarkably talented & broadbanding pan-idiomatic artist, he's also proven to be a veritable dude ..." David Torn

"Ric is a painter, using the melodies of strings to communicate beautiful colors. He plays beautiful guitar." Phil Keaggy

"...complex and compelling. The melodies remain in my head while the lyrics circle in my memory. The words wear well as they leave room to dream. The message is good medicine, it makes me feel better every time." David Wilcox

"Ric Hordinski layers stark acoustic, twang grunge electric and pretty lap steel over ...confessional, confrontational vocals." Guitar Player Magazine

"Ric Hordinski plays and sounds like warm cashmere feels - and somehow performs a magic trick by keeping a luminous transparency in his production." Rob Fetters

"Hordinski shows himself to be the rarest kind of virtuoso - one w ho knows when not to play...and what not to play. "Music is not just about notes," he says. "It's about the space between the notes." And what makes Hordinski's music so compelling is that it transcends both notes and spaces, communicating to the listener something that transcends the literal." Reid Davis, Pastemusic.com

"...A must, well informed pop, heartfelt, delivered with authority and presented with rapturous diversity, held together by Ric's guitar mastery and gift of lyrical vulnerability. Bill Mallonee

"...A smoldering, ambient wash of beautiful guitar noise using digital delay and every bit of immense talent." The Flagpole - Athens, GA

"Listening to Hordinski at his best is like watching someone throw a really well worded fit. His work ...will leave you breathless." Dave Canfield, Cornerstone Magazine

Hi Rich,

Hope your release gigs went well. Was not able to get out, but hopefully we'll see you soon. Heard you on WNKU and you mentioned Tony Miracle was playing with you. Small world... I went to high school with him. Didn't know he was in town. Peace....
