Rick Keene is a former radio guy  (k103.7fm) and music journalist.

Always looking to get back on the radio and other opportunities.

 

 

 

This is a site devoted to all the people who make and love music.

 

It is an opportunity for established and up and coming artists to divulge their stories to music lovers everywhere.

My love began when I was 13. I heard the Rolling Stones‘ song Angie on the radio. Once I found out who sang it, I realized I had five Stones`albums in my room that my older sister had given me. My first paycheckEdit – I bought 26 more Stones `albums. I was hooked on their music ever since along with R and B, Soul, Country, Gospel and the Blues. All the genres the Stones have been successful in.

At 15 – I toured Southern Ontario with my cousin`s band; Sleight of Hand as a `roadie`. Meeting players such as Jeff Healy, Ronnie Hawkins and Robbie Robertson.

 

 

Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to speak  and get to know guys like Jerry Mercer, Jimmy Clench, Brian Greenway, Jim, Ritchie and David Henman of April Wine. Michel Pagliaro, Steve Hill, Sass Jordan, Maurice Raymond of  the  Blushing Brides, Luba, Colin James and Breen Leboeuf of Offenbach.

Roger Walls, Rod Argent, Colin Blunstone and Jim Rodford ( the Zombies) , Glen Matlock ( Sex Pistols), Martha Wainright, Scott Kempner ( The Dictators),  Darryl Jones, the bass player for the Rolling Stones and Blues’ legends Buddy Guy and James Cotton have all crossed my path.

I have interviewed over three hundred musicians and everyone has a unique tale and unique ways of plying their crafts.

Mostly I met many, many talented musicians who love what they do and have been unfortunate not to hit the big time. This is why I created this site. To help out.

If you want to tell your story – please contact me. If you want to advertise – drop me a line !

Sincerely,

Rick Keene
