“I first contracted Rick Fink to perform with his group The Gas House Gorillas at our local blues festival. His stage antics, energy and charisma made him a fan favorite. What I didn't realize at the time was what a great songwriter Rick is. He still has a great rapport with the crowd, but now his songs and emotions are on full display, and it is a wonder to behold. How rare it is to have an artist that can command a large stage but also connect personally in a smaller venue. ”
