Rockin’ Rick puts the “Wild” in Wild Records! When you think about Modesto’s Graffiti years, the music that comes to mind is the hard driving Rockabilly, with the big slappin’ bass and sounds that make it impossible not to dance. Rockin’ Rick has been tearing it up around our area for many years, he is a regular at Viva Las Vegas and he tours regularly to some of the Rockabilly shows and festivals across the west.
Rockin’ Rick and the Rhythm Wranglers are going back into the studio to lay down some high energy tracks for a new Wild Records release. Here’s what Rockin Rick has to say about the new record. “Guaranteed to be the record Disk Jockeys spin the most and the one that our “Worst of ‘em all” gang has been waiting for with dance floor hits such as “Jump n’ bop”, “Wax on the Table “, and “GO”. There are tales of broken hearts & the macabre with the spooky tune “The Blob”. But don’t fret cats we have somethin’ for you greaseballs as well with a story of a hot rod kitten who loves to race to the finish in “Heart Attack”
It just have to love this music. They practice in Tony Trevino’s Barber Shop on 10th Street after hours so every rehearsal is an impromptu concert with people coming by, hanging out on the sidewalk or piling in the check out the action. Rockin’ Rick Torres as been an important part of our music community, playing the MAMA Awards, hosting Rockabilly events and even doing the Rockin’ Holiday Christmas series in 10th St Plaza in the snow.
Rockin’ Rick and the Rhythm Wranglers are the amazing Tony Trevino, David Wayne St. Germain and Kevin Schwarz. This band is rockin’ so get your hands on these new tunes.
