Rick Braun is a musician, producer, singer and songwriter all wrapped up in one! He takes some time between the Peter White Christmas Shows at the Miller Center in Reading to talk with Jo Painter about ‘coming home’ to perform at the Boscov’s Berks Jazz Fest. While Rick moved to the West Coast he still calls this area ‘home’ and always finds family members in the audience.

Rick talks about how Chet Baker has inspired him and shares his other influences as well. While the trumpet has always been his musical voice, he is also using his voice as his musical instrument. Rick shares some practicing secrets for both voice and trumpet and shares some other interesting tales as well. You’ll enjoy his conversation.
