When people come to hear Rick Hardin they know they are in for an amazing voice and thought provoking imagery. He is a songwriter who knows how to express his heart and he has a vocal quality that adds depth to his words. It would be hard to find a performer more in their element on stage; Rick goes somewhere far away while he’s playing and takes the crowd there with him.

Born in Napa, CA, and raised in Sonoma, Rick Hardin has been writing songs for longer than he can recall. Since 2005 when he released his first Solo EP he has been voice to remember in the SF Bay Music Scene. Over the last ten years he has frequented the Fillmore’s Poster Room, The Kfog Morning Show, Cafe’ Du Nord, The Mystic Theater and many of the venues in the SF bay area.

“House concerts and songwriter nights are some of my favorite shows, you can’t beat being face to face with the audience; its challenging, exciting and addictive.”
“I’m really lucky to have amazing songwriting partners, Bonnie Hayes and Scott Lipsitz have been my greatest coaches and inspirations. Working on songs with people who are so creative and capable is a true pleasure.”

-Rick talking about working on his upcoming release, Next Best Thing (Soon to be available on CDbaby, iTunes, and Amazon).
You Can find his EP on iTunes, CDBaby and spotify.
