About the Author
About the Author: By the age of 8, Enrique Rivard (Ricky Blues) was introduced to the guitar and began taking lessons. While attending college in NYC at the Cooper Union School of Art, he was enamored by the local music scene and abundant street performers. It was there that he first saw live Blues performed at an open mic venue and was impacted instantly.
Currently, Ricky Blues performs with different ensembles in Westchester County. These evenings fulfill the pure passion and enjoyment of playing live and in front of audiences for the young Bluesman. These engagements are not limited only to the Blues but any style, original or not. More from this author.
