4. How would you describe your style? Which bands influenced your music?

5. What's your take on "Delozier" as a whole?

Ric: It's a piece of my soul.I hear the songs in my head completed almost a lot of the time.So for me its a process of transferring what I hear in my head onto the recorder and bringing it to life.And hopefully capturing the emotion or passion on the instruments that will translate to a special connection between the music and the listener.

6. What's your favorite song on "Delozier" right now?

Ric: I have no favorites they are all special to me.

7. Can you tell us about your next set of shows/tours and why we should be there?

Ric: Just to continue to grow and carry on forward.It will be with members however from here on in..

10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?

Ric: It's my hope that the listener can experience some connection or feeling or emotion to the material much like I do when I record it.I think it's awesome that music is a universal language that everyone can understand and connect with.
