Rick, a long time friend of POM's predecessor Radio Open Mic (as well as his lovely wife Elaine Colella) is a left-handed, multi-genre, multi-tuning, life-inspired street-lovin' troubadour  who has many original songs and over 100 cover songs. Rick enjoys playing on the streets of Portland and becoming the soundtrack for people' s lives. The street gives a musician a chance to practice dynamics and phrasing in order to pleasantly catch a listener's ear. And the tip jar doesn't lie! Rick's goal is to make a living from doing what he loves: playing heartfelt tunes to an appreciative audience.
