Blues, boogie woogie and classic New Orleans R&B all come flying from the fingers of Cincinnati, OH piano purveyor RICKY NYE. The driving force behind the annual BLUES & BOOGIE PIANO SUMMIT held in Northern Kentucky since 1999, Ricky has shared stages in the U.S. and Europe with the world's finest blues pianists. The recipient of numerous awards given locally by CityBeat Magazine and The Cincinnati Enquirer, Ricky also continues to gain notoriety on an international level, performing his infectious blend of American roots music in solo, duo and combo settings, most recently in locales such as Paris, France and Barcelona, Spain.
