About the Artist
A native to the bay area, I grew up immersed in the San Francisco music scene. Spending my early drumming days opening for bands like Black Flag and Agent Orange. The next chapter was spent in the studio and on the road with Vain, Linda Perry, The Clarke Nova, Single, Blue Sky Roadster, Loaded, Yardley, Bloodroses, Texacala Jones, Eric Martin, and a wide variety of independent singers, songwriters, and producers. All the while studying with Bay Area teaching legend Chuck Brown. While working with Linda, I recorded Christina Aguilera's Beautiful, as well as appearing onstage with Linda, playing drums for her jaw dropping Led Zeppelin tribute. Based in Los Angeles these days, Rickard has been spending his time in the studio and on stage with, Michelle Shocked (michelleshocked.com), Todd Herfindal (toddherfindalmusic.com), Wendy Starland (wendystarland.com), Courtney Love (courtneylove.com) and The Meadows (wearethemeadows.com), Rick McCulley (richmcculley.com), Duff Ferguson (allduff.com), as well as many other singer songwriters and producers.
