What’s New With Rick

Mick Fleetwood’s Island Rumours Band featuring Rick Vito is set to play two upcoming shows in Hawaii. The band’s debut wil be at ”Craterfest” in Honolulu on Saturday, May 19, 2007, an event that will also feature many of Hawaii’s finest bands and musicians. The second show will be on June 8, 2007 on Maui at the “Barefoot Bash,” an annual concert staged by Island Rumours members, The Barefoot Natives (Uncle Willie K and Eric Gilliom). Also featured in the band are traditional Hawaiian chanteuse, Raiatea Helm, “master” percussionist Lopaka Colon, and bassist Lenniy Castellanos.

Rick was featured at the annual Dallas Vintage Guitar Show on Saturday, April 21, 2007 at 3 PM. He performed one set featuring songs from “Rattlesnake Shake,” “Band Box Boogie,” and his other CDs. Along with Rick was Charlie Harrison on bass and Billy Block on drums. Rick and Charlie later performed a short set at the clinician stage and had a chance to offer a few pointers and meet some terrific people. Thanks to Marc Pollock, Mr. & Mrs. Jimmy Wallace, and all the great crew and listeners–we appreciate all of you more than you know! More information can be found at www.guitarshow.com
