Release Notes:

Rick West was born in a small town in Maine. It
Seemed he was as for away from country music as you
can get. In his early teens, he started playing on
an old guitar his grandmother bought him. She taught
him the basics on how to play and sing. It wasn't
until later in life his love of music took him th
the stage. Rick started playing publicly while
serving in the Marine Corp. and when stationed in
Japan he entered a competition, winning first runner
up. With the support of family and friends, after
returning to the states he played locally on
weekends at nightclubs, keeping his love for music
alive.
In the late 90's Rick put together a talented group
of people with the same enthusiam and love of music
that he had. Together they formed the group
Cherokee. Practicing in his backyard studio and
performing on the weekends, they played to packed
houses. In 2000, Rick and Cherokee entered their
first competition. They have won several awards in
both state and national competitions, and shared the
stage with many talented musicians such as, Blake
Shelton, T.Graham Brown, Darryl Worley, and signed
to a contract with Confederate Railroad. Rick and
his band have headlined the Colgate Country Showdown
in Augusta, Maine, and also Manchester, N.H. They
have also performed in Las Vegas for the National
Country Music Organization of America.
Rick is now signed with KMA Records out of Nashville
and has produced his first self titled album.
