Bio
Mr. Rick and The Biscuits have now been serving the 'Roots' music community in Southern Ontario for a whopping 15 years playing their own brand of vintage Americana/ Skiffle/back Porch Jazz/Hillbilly Swing...ya just cant put a label on it except that is good, infectious fun music that appeals to all demographic groups. Mr. Rick was born and raised in Michigan. He grew up listening to Country, Western Swing, Blues, Gospel, Folk and Tin Pan Alley. Growing up in Detroit he was fortunate enough to learn guitar, and performance first hand from many performers who are now considered Icons of the genre. During his Travels he met and befriended a complimentary guitarist named Luther Wheatstraw in Beebeetown Iowa.They hit it off musically and soon hit the road and traveled North of Michigan and ended up in Canada where they have been performing ever since. Recently the two men have been joined by the newest Biscuit ,a young whippersnapper on the StandUp Bass named Tyler Lipscomb Thomson. Mr.Rick & The Biscuits have 3 highly acclaimed independent CD's available and are currently working on their next. .. .. .. .. ....< -
