Hey Friends,
This is Ricky Byrum. Thanks for checking me out! I am a singer, songwriter, producer, performer, guitarist and bassist. I have been fortunate enough to write and record my music with many great bands and as a solo artist.
I have been a musician for several years, and writing an array of music for some time now. I was born and raised on the east coast and the beach certainly has had an effect on my music. Thus, tracks titled, 'Tranquility'.
I was into music at a very early age, watching everything from blues, R & B, ROCK, and other forms on the TV turned me on to a diverse culture. It seems each instrument I play comes out with its own genre. When I play acoustically, I think pretty. When I play distortion I want it hard and heavy. As well when I play bass I want it funky and powerful!
Now that I am singing, it all transposed in the same way to voices. I have always had a knack for writing and arranging songs. Even more so than ever playing cover songs. I write what I feel and what I want to express. I have been told that to really get to know me, one must listen carefully to my songs.
Take a look around and listen, and give me a shout back.
Peace to you and yours,
Ricky Byrum

SPECIAL NOTE:
Hello all,
As we prepare a final mix on Coming Alive this weekend, I wanted to pass along the plans I'm making for a cd release party.
My hope is to have the Christian metal band Hemotheory headline the event.
One facility in mind is the Va Center for Cultural Arts located in Suffolk Va.
I am also looking at other venues in the Tidewater Va. area and south east NC that may coincide with this show.
Possibly as other dates altogether for us.
I will be scheduling most of the shows after the first of the year.
There's much more to discuss and I will follow up as soon as possible.
If you have any questions or comments, contact me at:
rickybyrum@peoplepc.com
Blessings to you and yours,
Ricky
Burning Bush Productions.

Hi Ricky Byrum! Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others.
This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace!
We had a great interview w/ 'Elliott Yamin' (RVA) of "American Idol' this month ... You can check out our entire interview at: www.richmondmusicforum.com
