Rich Whiteley: Ruby Fizz, Please
Jun 4th, 2009 | By Thomas Garcia | Category: Artist Profiles, CD ReleasesBay Area guitarist/songwriter Rich Whiteley was born in Wilmington, DE but currently resides in Tampa. Good thing, too. It would really be a pitiful shame if Delaware – not Florida, was the soul-beneficiary of Rich’s groovey-styled musical offerings. Whiteley’s 2009 CD-release Ruby Fizz is chock-full-of swarthy, blues-laden riffs and grooves that bend the most sensitive ear for the purpose of pure enjoyment. He’s an extremely gifted songwriter and multi-faceted performer – he skillfully plays guitar, harmonica, banjo, and piano on Fizz, Whiteley’s fourth studio project since A Dog or a Bicycle in 2000.
Whiteley’s band history includes Earth Bombs Mars, Uncle John’s Band, the Rich Whiteley Band, Magnolia Creek, Whiteley & Phillips, and countless others. He’s shared the stage with The Codetalkers, Oteil and the Peacemakers, New Monsoon, Jake Shimabukuro, Jerry Joseph, Beth Hirsch, Baye Kouyate, Melvin Seals, Tom Constanten, Leni Stern, Richard Drexler and many others.If you’re looking for great songwriting, poignant lyrics, and skillful musicianship mastery, then check out Ruby Fizz at www.richwhiteley.com
