Rick Norcross, longtime leader of Vermont's premier western swing band, Rick & The All-Star Ramblers, performs original songs about life in Vermont set smoothly into the western swing style of music. Many of his songs are lighthearted snapshots of a lost Vermont.

Rick began playing the guitar at 16 years of age in East Hardwick, Vermont and just completed his 55th year as a performing artist. He is the subject of a recent biography, "Riding My Guitar - The Rick Norcross Story" written by noted Vermont author Stephen Russell Payne.
