I play and sing all of my tracks myself. I do have some guest spots on some songs....but it's mostly just me. All my material is written either by myself or with my writing Partner Raj Upadhyay.
Influences
Foreigner, Lou Gramm, Elvis, Prince, Paul McCartney, Journey, Beatles, Bryan Adams, ZZ Top, Conway Twitty, Ronnie Milsap, Van Halen ( Sammy and Dave ) Rush, Heart, Pat Benatar, Bonnie Raitt, etc.
Sounds Like
It's hard to compare who I sound like because of my multiple influences and my music changes constantly. I have many styles and I can't really zero in on one particular group or artist I may favor. I sound like all of them.
I learned to play guitar when I was 8 years old and then learned to play Bass, Drums, Keyboards, Sax and Harmonica. I have been writing music since I was 11 years old. I have opened shows for "Humble Pie", "B.J. Thomas", "Georgia Sattelites", "The Drifters" and "Daryl Singletary". I have also Produced music for Felipe Rose ( Indian of the " Village People " ) and won 5 Native American Music Awards. I produce many genres of music including Country, Pop, Gospel, Rock and Rap. I have worked with many different Artists and Musicians in the Studio and on Stage. I am currently recording my 3rd Album.....which I have uploaded some unfinished tracks for you to sample.
You can visit my website at http://www.ricmorris.com to sample more music and to find out the latest news on my projects.
Please feel free to leave comments about the music. I would be happy to hear your comments.
Thank you for adding my new author page. I have a couple songs from the soundtrack on the player, but I link my music page for more songs. My fiction novel with a CD soundtrack is due out in a few weeks, (available to order by January 3rd.). It will be at CD Baby, Amazon, Barnes & Noble , and links at my web pages, etc. Keep in touch.
Wishing you a great musical week, a happy holiday season, and a prosperous new year. Hope all your projects are on track.

no worries will be playing 2 times this week. We start at THE BLUES PLACE in Colonial Heights on Thursday evening, then we roll down I-95 to throw it down at STEVEN KENT on Friday night. We would love to have you out for the shows!
Well I hope it all works out there. I'm trying not to get my hopes up though because they were so sketchy the last time I tried to get my job back. But I figure if they're desperate enough haha. And I would probably suck at the real thing since I'm so good at Guitar Hero lol
and by the way, mom told me she had talked to lonnie after the fact and he said he put me in the computer as rehireable. so yea. lol hopefully it all works...
Well I guess we were both wrong about the finale on American Idol...I would have NEVER guessed Kris though!! Talented yes but not that talented I don't think...Adam BETTER win!!! You should go on there :) Is there an age limit? YOU could be the NEXT American Idol!!!!:)
