Elevator Pitch Curating his own imprint in the fabric of Alternative and Acoustic Rock music, eclectic singer-songwriter Rick Denzien is rising through the ranks of these genres. Drawing inspiration from the truth telling of Peter Gabriel, the courage of the Dixie Chicks, and with the musical sensibilities of Stone Gossett, the artist has an unforgettable musical identity with a vision “for all people to be free, to escape the tyranny of the fossils that rule the world and keep us captive as co-conspirators in the destruction of the only planet which gives us life.” Biography A luminary in Alternative and Acoustic Rock genres, Buffalo, NY, native Rick Denzien’s musical venture builds on his life mantra of taking back one’s power from destructive forces with an ongoing commitment to sustainable living. His new CD release, “RADIATE,” showcases masterful songs that have the inescapable gravity of a singularity, focused, and inspired. Rick’s talent as an artist and producer blends rich motifs and prosaic lyrics that draws the listener in at a visceral level. Sensory vocals are backed by characteristic acoustic guitar, and complemented by cutting lead guitar solos, backed by piano, organ, cello, percussion, and other instruments, with well known musical collaborators. “RADIATE” challenges and inspires, revisiting themes of lost love and found dreams, injustice and bittersweet reward, and the many illusions and realities of life. With a discography that includes five albums - “Heal the Land,” “Recently,” “Laser Writing on the Moon,” “Exit 21,” and “Radiate” - this prolific artist is currently working on two more releases, “Blinded Eyes” and “Green Sky.” Denzien’s musical legacy includes live performances on radio, television, four European tours, numerous gigs at music festivals, clubs and acoustic venues, house concerts, and other concert events.
