Rick Atkins / Bio

Got my first guitar in 1967, I was 13 years old and it wasn't too long after that I could play all the chords to House Of The Risin' Sun and Louie Louie. My first payin' gig was in 1970, the 5 piece band made $50. Played in various rock bands with some gigs here and there, nothing real steady. In the mid 80's got with some real good musicians and formed Vital Signs, my first band with steady payin' gigs. Have been in some good bands since always rockin' the Tri State area. Currently playing for the Kickin' Country Band. I played with KCB in the late 90's for a few years. Have recently hooked up with Dave again, and KCB is still rockin' regional and local venues, with it's unique blend of classic rock and country. When KCB has some down time, I tend some of my personal projects, writing and arranging songs.
