Rick Blackwell (Drums) - Rick has been playing the drums since the age of 9. And shortly after that he discovered the music of Chicago. During the early mid ‘80s Chicago 16 & 17 were all over the radio, but it was a couple of years later in high school marching band that he discovered Chicago’s hit’s from the 60’s and 70’s. During freshman year the band played 25 or 6 to 4, which led Rick to discover all of the Chicago early albums, which made an everlasting impression on him.
Since then Rick has played in a variety of bands and musical settings, from cover bands that played top 40 hits throughout the region to original bands playing with a variety of talented musicians and songwriters. In fact, Rick met his wife, a singer, while playing with the 11-piece City Sounds Orchestra.
But the music of Chicago has been Rick’s passion over all of those years. He has all of their albums in one form or another and seen the band live dozens of times. As a member of SOS-CTB, Rick is thrilled to combine his passion for drums with his favorite musical act—Chicago.
