Kansas City native Richard Patterson has been playing guitar and singing blues for over 20 years!In 1989 the band RocknRick and The RoadMasters was formed and is still going strong!There have been so many members that it would be hard to list them all!Some of which have passed on but will always be members of the band!!!In fact all past and present are still members!!!
It was CHICAGO'S Legendary Saxaphonist Abb Locke that RocknRick did National and International shows with! Some of the great musicians to play and tour with include ;Abb Locke, Leon Estelle, Glenn Patrik, Bob Schnebelen, Mike Malone's Soul Collectors, Sherman Robertson{The Guitar Man} , Johnny Clyde Copeland{Texas Twister}Grammy Winner with Albert Collins, and Robert Cray,JimmyD.Lane! Leon Estelle,Glenn Patrik, Johnny Copeland and Sherman Robertson have not only been"friends"but"teachers"!! But if not for the Kansas City talent which I found to be as"good as it gets" and God to whom I owe my "Love and Graditude" none of this would be possible!!To name a few that I Feel should be mentioned does not mean that this is all there is: Leon Estelle{Mr.Blues}Estelle,Glenn{Mr.BluesJr.}SonnyKenner, LonnieRay, BobSchnebelen, NickSchnebelen,{"Kansas City" Kelsey Hill}, Greg Camp,Billy{cabbage}Walker,Johnny Isom,John Evans , Kool-aide, Milage Gilbert,John Mayabb,"LiL" Joe Sherick and many many more!!!!!!!!!The blues band: ROCK-N-RICK&THE ROADMASTERS have played clubs, festivals, from Jono's in Sioux Falls S.D. to The Paola Roots Festival!The first recorded project to be available is Rock-N-Rick- Beat A Demon - C.D.- has been released. I have to say that no words can describe how great it was to have my friends/family: [Trampled Under Foot] a first class act all their own, to be there with me!www. tufkc.com. Infact it was their father the "Late"Robert Nicholas Schnebelen that inspired the song Beat A Demon ! Along with Steve McBride owner/operator of Sound Gate Productions whose talent and guidance is the best!
