Ricky Wise is a Baltimore based singing drummer. Growing up on the music of the '40s and '50s from his Grandparents, classic rock from the '60s through the '80s from his Dad, and soul, Motown, and disco hits from the '60s through today from his Mom, he had a wide range of musical knowledge to pull from when he became a full time musician. Ricky has been performing in the DMV area for over a decade now, and has no plans on stopping any time soon. Ricky still enjoys digging through the archives and listening to tunes of the past, as well as finding new music that turns him on, and finding some time to work on original music of his own in his spare time, whatever that is.
The Ricky Wise Trio - (Ricky (d,v), Jeff Reed (b,v), Jamie O’Connell (g,v) - is currently a cover project playing and creating music. The focus is to make every song sound uniquely theirs, while still being something the audience would recognize or, at the very least, enjoy.
