Episode 8 Dirty Rice

Eric Rice has been performing in Blues and Rock clubs for over 20 years. When he was old enough to get into the clubs he burst in like a pit bull sniffin' for blood. Insisting on finding the jam sessions and kicking down the doors he made his way into the Spokane Blues scene. In the 90's there still was one that thrived due to the popularity of his friends Too Slim and the Taildraggers, DK Stewart, Yo and DeCats and of course his own JR Boogie. JR was on top of the heap with a 7 piece horn band with a ton of energy and attitude until he moved to Seattle looking for a bigger pond to swim in. He continued with the name JR Boogie and forged his way into the blues scene in Seattle where he is today. "I love Seattle. The weather is cool and the music scene thrives!" he says. Eric opened for many national blues acts such as Edgar Winter, Robin Ford, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Jr. Wells, Long John Baldry, Anson Funderberg to name a few.

Dirty Rice the latest creation. Eric has been playing all over the NW in many diferent bands over the past few years such as Charles White, Fat James, Sweet Talkin' Jones and Barfly after he disbanded JR Boogie. Now we are going to get Dirty Rice rolling with Scotty Harris on bass and Keylin Mayfield on drums.
