Ric on the Radio
Eric Cullen, aka "Ric", is a musician and music lover who was raised on FM radio, Beethoven, the Carter Family and Frank Zappa. Born in San Diego, he moved to Sonoma County in 1989 to attend Sonoma State University, earning his b.a. in music in 1991. Since then, he has played in many local bands: Freeloaders, the Vallejo Street Band, Joe Chaplain Band, among many others. He currently plays in Amphora, an all-instrumental smooth and Latin jazz combo. He has also recorded a dozen solo albums and owned or co-owned three independent record labels. His involvement at KRCB is a natural extension of his total love of all aspects of music, from creator, to showman, to fan.
 

Rupert Holmes PinaSoft Rock Extravaganza. That was my original title. I’ve decided to modify the content a bit. After further assessment, I decided that, yes, some nice mellow music may be soothing to the soul, but we still need to celebrate joy. So, I’ll be including tracks that, for me, inject me with happiness, fleeting as it may be. The kinds of songs that give me goosebumps. I hope they do the same for you.

Ric on the Radio can be heard every 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month at 9:00 pm on KRCB-FM Radio 91 / streaming @ norcalpublicmedia.org / Download the FREE KRCB App @ iTunes & Google Play!

sunshineThis week, Ric presents The Greno Special!

We'll also listen to selections from his extensive back-catalog of solo records and several of the many bands he has been in, including his current band, Menagerie. We'll talk about his label, Anonymous Collective, and listen to a few of the artists he has released: Vinnie Giracello, Anthony Davis and Collin Estes. It's two hours of the best of Greno!
