Ric on the Radio
Eric Cullen, aka "Ric", is a musician and music lover who was raised on FM radio, Beethoven, the Carter Family and Frank Zappa. Born in San Diego, he moved to Sonoma County in 1989 to attend Sonoma State University, earning his b.a. in music in 1991. Since then, he has played in many local bands: Freeloaders, the Vallejo Street Band, Joe Chaplain Band, among many others. He currently plays in Amphora, an all-instrumental smooth and Latin jazz combo. He has also recorded a dozen solo albums and owned or co-owned three independent record labels. His involvement at KRCB is a natural extension of his total love of all aspects of music, from creator, to showman, to fan.
 

509px Aretha Franklin 1968 1Ric returns this week to bring you a very special career retrospective of Aretha Franklin. We will hear from every period of Aretha's 50-year recording career: from her gospel roots, the beginning of her recording career as a pop entertainer on Columbia Records, taking the crown of "Queen of Soul" during her Atlantic years, to her R&B/ disco diva period, to her final records before her death in 2018. Be ready to be uplifted! Be prepared to sing out in glorious rapture!

Ric on the Radio can be heard every 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month at 9:00 pm on KRCB-FM Radio 91 / streaming @ norcalpublicmedia.org / Download the FREE KRCB App @ iTunes & Google Play!

ric radioI am pleased to tell you that the incomparable Phil Hulme will be joining me on the air this week! We have lots of fun, laughter and surprises in store for you. Phil and I will volley between song picks, allowing our muse and free association to take us to unexpected places.
