--This Brooklyn born entertainer has spent the last 25 years traveling the globe sharing his amazing gift of connecting with an audience, creating the most intimate of performances.

At age 14, he started singing in the streets and subways of New York City and by the age of 21 had established himself as a solo artist in the New York folk music scene. He opened shows for folk artists at the Village Gate, Folk City, and the Bitter End nightclubs in New York’s famous Greenwich Village District. He also studied acting at New York’s American Arts Theater and performed in off- Broadway comedy and drama productions while earning a living as a studio session musician at Cove City Sound and Cloud Nine studios on Long Island.
Ricky’s Beatle career began at the age of 27 when, like Paul McCartney, he moved from guitar to bass, realizing that more bands needed bass players than guitar players. His look, his voice and being a natural left-handed player quickly landed him a spot in the “Beatlemania” touring road tours and was hired by many of the top Beatle Impersonator shows to improve their casts. With “1964-The Tribute”, he achieved his dream of being with the band that Rolling Stone magazine calls, “The Best Beatles Tribute on Earth!”
Ricky says, “There’s no greater joy for me than making people smile and sing along to some of the greatest pop music ever written. I am blessed.”
Now back as a solo act, he is once again sharing his music and stories of life on the road with a new audience.
With only guitar, harmonica and a voice that speaks right to your soul, he draws you in, giving each listener the feeling of looking right into the window of his life’s journey.
