Rick Snider is an Outlaw Country singer/songwriter out of Nova Scotia Canada. Rick has been playing in cover bands for over 20 years and writing songs even longer.

After releasing 5 singles off the Album to radio over a span of several months, each song reached number 1 on one or more internet radio stations in Canada, and The United States.

Growing up in a musical family, it was a natural course of action for Rick to pursue his dream of playing and having his music heard by music fans everywhere.

Joe Dionisio lives in the Los Angeles area. His earliest musical memories consist of Beatles tunes his

dad played when he was aged 3, along with standards sung by Sinatra and the like. He considers

himself fortunate that the love for rock took hold at such an early stage; the worse alternative was to

become a Sinatra fan.

A late starter as a musician, Joe first learned how to play guitar when he was a high school junior,

when one of his best friends, John, taught him how to play Bryan Adams’ “Summer of ‘69.” By the

mid-1990s, Joe and John were writing their own songs together, with John being the “music guy” and

Joe the “words guy.” Both friends stopped writing together at around the start of the new millennium,

but whereas John still has to return to the songwriter life, Joe dove back in head first around ten years

later. To some extent he had to start all over again – he’d even forgotten how to hold a guitar pick

without it flying out of his strumming hand. With a good bit of hard work, a whole lot of love, and a

ton of education that only life experience can give, he eventually found his feet again, ready to take up

the daily challenge of being a songwriter/musician on a constant quest to improve on his craft.

Joe has a few musical heroes. On his Mount Olympus of favorites and influences are film music

composer John Williams, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Tom Petty and Dave Grohl. In truth,

though, he admires everyone brave enough to put his or her honest heart and soul into everything

they do.
