Rich got involved with music at an early age in the Los Angeles area. He started playing surf guitar in 1964, joined a rock and roll band shortly thereafter and played top 40's music throughout the rest of the decade. After returning from a government sponsored vacation of sorts in Southeast Asia during the early 70's, he played lead guitar in a Contemporary Christian Country Band. In that group he started playing pedal steel, which gave the group a distinctive country flair. After earning a business degree, he drifted away from the music for 15 years. He moved to Colorado in 1994 and the last half of the 90's began a reawakening for him. He now has a collection of 15 instruments and a basement full of supporting gear. He plays acoustic folk and early rock and roll. He has played blues guitar for a couple of local bands and played guitar and pedal steel at several of Colorado Springs' local venues. In addition to recording a CD with a couple of great folk and bluegrass musicians, he got together recently with Dave German and they're rapidly perfecting their Everly Brothers harmonies.
