Rick K.
"I sing and perform for the love
of the music", Rick K. says intently.
"Everything you achieve in this business is a
result of how well you connect that with the
audience."
One of the most exciting performers on the music scene,
Rick K. has transferred that enthusiasm and "love
of the music" to his ever-growing audience of fans
at shows across the country. His distinct vocal style
and charismatic stage presence have earned him rave
reviews at major fairs, casinos, nightclubs and special
events. In addition to his own headlining shows, Rick K.
has appeared with major acts such as George Jones, The
Temptations and Chubby Checker. Growing up in the hills
of West Virginia, music runs through Rick's bloodlines,
as his grandmother is an accomplished gospel and jazz
pianist. His father played drums for several successful
recording groups in the late fifties and early sixties.
Rick started early in his teen years playing drums and
singing in local country and rock n' roll bands. His
love of various styles of music was enhanced by
performing with school and church choirs. Rick received
All State Choir honors and was voted Best Musician in
his high school band. By age twenty Rick had left the
drums behind and was fronting his own band, RICK K.
& THE ALLNIGHTERS. This melting pot of musical
tastes boiled into the high-energy rock n' roll oldies,
pop, and country sounds that mark Rick's music today.
Rick is a strong advocate against the danger of drugs
and alcohol. The group has helped raise funds for the
American Cancer Society along with numerous Federal,
State and Local law enforcement agencies. Rick is
married with three beautiful daughters and you can find
the “K” crew at many a performance.
