News Release

Alcott Arts Center will once again "Rock the Arts" on October 6th, 2012.

The event begins at 6 p.m. on the South Lawn. Weather permitting otherwise we will move it indoors.

From Kansas City, Fast Johnny Ricker is a blazing blues/rock guitarist and slide master. Ricker is joined by his 20-year-old son, Davis Ricker on bass/shared vocals, and Gary Miller on drums.

Johnny’s incendiary guitar style and original song writing have been described as a high voltage combination of psychedelic rock with Texas and Delta blues traditions.

Fast Johnny has performed with or opened for:

"Scare The Children" with Davis Ricker and Justin Vacca will be debuting their band at Rock the Arts! They are an awesome young band that you really should check out.
