Rick Tiger concert *new date!
April 6, 8-10pm
Logan Street Sanctuary, Inc.
1274 Logan Street, Noblesville IN 46060
$10 requested donation at the door
We had to postpone Rick’s January concert due to Old Man Winter, but we’re thrilled to welcome Rick to the LSS stage for a Spring concert! Rick grew up in south Louisiana, calling New Iberia home. He is the second of 8 children and cherishes every moment with his family back in the “Bayou State.” His love for music began at an early age with a few guitar lessons from a local teacher. He began writing songs almost the moment he could play a simple chord structure. His desire to move to Nashville didn’t become a reality till 1991. After a few short years Rick had a single on the radio by a group called Western Flyer. The song “What Will You Do With M-E”, co-written with Craig Martin, climbed all the way to 26 on the Billboard chart in the summer of 1996. Since that time Rick has had cuts by Montgomery/Gentry (The Fine Line), Gene Watson (Just In Case), The Del McCoury Band (Zero to Love), Joe Nichols (An Old Friend of Mine), Nu-Blue featuring legendary R&B singer Sam Moore (Jesus and Jones), Jeff Bates (For The Love of God), Bluegrass Legend Jeanette Williams (Not Ready to Let Go) and a patriotic tribute with over 100 million downloads on Dustin Evans (If I Die Before You Wake). Over the last three years Rick has performed House Shows from New York to California and Canada, logging thousands of miles and almost 200 concerts full of story and song. Rick’s a role model when it comes to his love for his faith, family, friends, life and passion for the song.
