The very best way for you to find out about the quality of our performances and music is to read what others are saying. Every one of the reviews we receive are from people who have come to our live performances. Many come back again and again and bring friends along with them. Our music moves them in so many different ways. For some it is an escape back to a time that meant so much to them and they get that same feeling all over again. For others it's a way to see and hear some of their favorite classic songs performed live. Yet others are moved to dance and sing along and just have a great time.

"My husband and I really enjoy the Mick and Rick Band. They are fun and full of good energy. Their music is great to listen to, and we consider ourselves to be big fans of theirs. We have heard them play at Highland Square and at Sweet Pea Cafe. Their audiences are always very enthusiastic."
Rick G.
"I've known Mick and Rick since childhood. Their musical talent goes without saying. They have been doing this
since high school and over the years they have honed their craft. Because of their long-standing friendship,
they react with one another while performing very well.
While performing, their background support is quite good. It is well recorded and presented, and it blends in
well with their instruments and voices. They present themselves with a look and sound that is believable and
possesses a familiarity of the music for the audience. Having lived this music, they know it quite well.
Their interaction with the audience is quite good. They feel comfortable with them and and treat them as friends."

"Mick and Rick are (to say the least) OUTSTANDING. The combination of true talent, experience and enthusiasm makes for a great show. I would recommend this band to anyone needing really wonderful entertainment for parties, cafes or night clubs. I truly enjoy every moment when we go to see them!!"
June S.
"Mick and Rick are amazing musicians. They are not only extremely talented with a multitude of genres, but they also know how to engage the audience with ease. i invited 6 of my friends to see them play. Several of my friends are musicians and had a great appreciation for their mastery of often very difficult musical progressions in jazz, rock, and blues , while making it look easy! An evening with Mick and Rick is truly fun and memorable. I recommend them highly for any successful event."
Maureen L.
"Mick and Rick are a lot of fun to see! My husband and I enjoy their song selection a lot. They sing a lot of favorites from the 60's on through the 90's. Mick is well suited to sing rock, blues, and pop songs...with a solid, strong voice. Rick does a great job with the instrumental arrangements & back up vocals. They have a lot of fun together, and create a fun atmosphere whenever they perform. They would be fan favorites for any occasion."
Susan R.
"Outstanding performers.fun and great to listen to. Always a nice evening out where ever they play.. Very talented guys."
Paul L.
"Mick & Rick play the perfect sets of music, singing one great song after another, with their perfect mix of music they rock the house keeping the crowd going. Very talented and personable, no disappointment, bottom line amazing."
Brenda B.
"Rick and Mick will certainly capture your hearts bringing back memories with the music we've grown up with. Their vocals along with their musical talents are "right on" making it very easy to connect with the vivid images that music creates. As a musician and singer myself I thoroughly enjoyed listening and singing along with Rick and Mick and even found myself getting up to dance! Great song selection and overall a really good time and a fun night! I highly recommend a night out with Rick and Mick!"
Nancy S.
"We always have the best evening when we go to listen to Mick & Rick play. Their music plays right to the crowd, before you know it you're dancing to your favorite songs. They are awesome!"
Wayne P.
"If you love the music of the 60's/70's (and even some original songs in that genre) then you simply have to go a Mick and Rick performance. I thought I had walked into the Castle, an old music barn hangout from the 60's in Montrose (west Akron area). Mick and Rick do it all. They make their own backup tracks and sing live...all the songs you would remember form those great times in the 60's! If you're in the Akron area, do yourself a favor...catch a Mick and Rick performance. You'll be translated back to a time when life was a lot simpler and fun. You can dance to great oldies...you can sing along to all those great songs. You won't regret the evening...big time fun and excellent entertainment!"
Shannon M.
"My dad had been friends with Mick and Rick from grade school. He used to listen to their home recordings on YouTube all night long. So when his 65th Birthday/Retirement Party came along, I contacted Mick and Rick to see if they would come sing Happy Birthday to my dad. Not only did they show up to sing Happy Birthday, but they learned 11 songs to play at his party! It was a hit! It was so much fun and the guests were very impressed! Not only were they punctual, fun and friendly, they were prepared! It was way above my initial request and far exceeded my expectations. From that point on, they exploded, learning many, many more songs and preforming at various places, events and locations. Mick and Rick are the real deal, musicians that enjoy what they do for the enjoyment of the audience. Always a great, upbeat and fun time!"
Stephen P.
"If it's the classic sounds of the 60's & 70's that interests you. The rock n' soul music of Mick & Rick is the band for you. I have had the distinct pleasure of seeing this dynamic-duo perform numerous times in the NE Ohio area. Their live (full-band sound) concerts are filled with rich vocals and very powerful music arrangements, that brings audiences to their feet dancing and signing along to each and every song. I highly recommend you checking out this band. You will not be disappointed ~ Stephen Paternite"
Peggy H.
"Enjoyed a fun evening watching Mick & Rick perform. They keep the audience engaged and play great music!!"
Leslie P.
"I love their music and make it a point to catch a show while in Ohio. Great music selection. No limit on genres or music syles. A+++++++ band. A band you can take the family to see no matter age or style."

"WARM SUMMER NIGHTS - The top is down, your love is by your side, and sweet soul music is pouring out of the car's radio (or 4 track, 8 track or be still my heart, a cassette). MAGIC! And that is what you get with Mick and Rick.
Your favorites of the 60's & 70's and some newer songs are recreated in a way you are sure there is at least a 6 piece or more band in front of you with 5 part harmonies. The bass, horns, drums, sax, organ, harmonica and woodwinds are all there.
So if you are in need of a pick me up, want to return to the days of yesteryear, or simply want an infusion of feel good music, Mick and Rick are your ticket to Rock, Soul, the Blues and FUN. Don't miss out. Get in front of them today and watch what happens!
Mick and Rick are true professionals and work to fulfill your needs. They are compact with a big sound. Constantly refining their craft, they have been making music for many decades."

"These iconic and very special performers are at it again. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY back in the 60's I met Rick Maselli as the leader of a band called The Chambermen, one of the premier garage bands of the 60's era. They played at a club I helped manage at the time. through out all the years, Rick continued to hone his skills, and Mick's incredible vocals continued to mellow as well. NOW, the two of them are together, performing in MY HOME TOWN, (my favorite of the Springsteen tunes, they do by the way) Akron Ohio...From just pure talent and electricity, you won't find any better entertainment than these two dear long time friends. You will be absolutely spell bound by the talent and scope of these two performers...ROCK ON GENTLEMEN."
Patricia L.
"Mick and Rick put their heart and soul into entertaining those attending their shows. You can tell they love what they do and love making their audience happy. I wish there was a star in between Good and Outstanding (like 'very good') because I think they are close to Outstanding and improving all the time. They are very talented in their singing and musical instruments. It's fun to listen to them perform the songs of the 60's (my era) and brings back lots of good memories of the songs of the 'good old days'. They are really nice guys who do a great job performing songs they love. They interact with their fans and have fun with the crowd. I especially enjoy their outdoor shows. Looking forward to this year's schedule."
