Fall-Winter 2004/Automne-Hiver 2004

Once again, Rick is on the road with Lhasa. There is also talk of taking Magneto on the road. For more information, David Cordeau did an interview with Rick at the website of the Canadian Guitar Players Association -- you can read it by clicking here.

Summer-Fall 2004/Été-Automne 2004

Rick is touring with Lhasa on the festival scene -- we'll have some photos from the tour shortly. As you can see on the photo to the right, Rick made a new friend at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival -- the inflatable dragon at the kids' play area!

Spring-Summer 2004/Printemps-Été 2004

Winter-Spring 2004/Hiver-Printemps 2004

The debut CD from Rick's own band Magneto is scheduled to be released by Audiogram in May. The album is all instrumental, and features Sylvain Clavette on drums, Mario Légaré on bass, and Rick on saz, oud, harmonica, trumpet . . . oh yes, and the guitar as well!

In April, a CD that Rick produced by a new artist named Charles Dubé is scheduled for release by Tacca.

Starting in March, Rick will be on a seven-week tour with Lhasa, the Montreal-based Latin singer. The tour will be in Europe and include stops in France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, and England. In all likelihood, they will return to Europe this summer to do the festival circuit, and will tour throughout Quebec next Fall.

As always, we'll keep you posted on these new developments -- and thank you very much Lou Chartrand (L'Equipe Spectra) for the update!
