Rick Shelley tried Glam Rock with his high-school buddies in Walla Walla, WA (so fun to say that), but it never really suited him. He started tarting in the band “Rag Tag,” where Rick just wanted to play guitar, but his band mates eventually took that from him and made him the singer…since he was the only one that actually could. One of those former bandmates was Nick Oliveri from Queens of The Stone Age. Moving from there into a band called “WoodShed” (Where he technically never left) he started to discover more about his music. Rick sheds some light on the transition from band member to solo artist. It can be scary and nerve-racking, but it definitely is rewarding. Many of Rick’s songs are story based, lending people to think they are about someone or something specific. His new album “Hope Wrapped in Razor Wire” is just a glimpse into the depth of Rick, and he even explains that title to us. We play a song from that album, Rick PERFORMS one LIVE, and he even gives us a teaser of a new song he’s been workin
