With a voice that floats with soulful warmth and honesty, Rick Hart is a storyteller, whose words and melodies weave through all the dynamics and extremes of human emotions and relationships. A tapestry of melody soaked simplicity and thoughtful imagery, influenced by the likes of Kris Kristofferson, Tom Petty, Merle Haggard, Rolling Stones, CCR, The Band and Springsteen. This multi award winning songwriter (2014 Songwriter of the Year, Australian Songwriters Association awards), delivers songs, often simple in nature, yet endearing in ways that will stay with you. “Countrified soul” maybe? While it may go some way, to stop there would only scratch the surface of where his songs span. He seamlessly transcends genre, weaving country, folk, rock’n’roll, soul, southern rock and blues, producing a sound all his own.
