Welcome to the Mick and Rick Video Page
After you read this, scroll down to see our videos.
Hi everyone, I'm Rick Maselli and along with Mick Pera, we are Mick and Rick. On this page you will be able to watch some of our live performances. Mick and Rick is a Duo/Band, Playing Classic Rock, Old School Soul and Blues songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s. My experience over the years has been that to be a band you needed to have at least 3 or more members. However over the past several years, I began recording original songs and playing all the instruments.
As time went on, I asked my long time friend Mick, if he would record the lead vocal on one of my original songs and he did. When we completed the song he sounded great on it. We then decided to get together once or twice a week to record some of the great classic songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s, songs that we both loved. We started posting these songs on Facebook and we were getting a lot of good feedback. A Facebook friend suggested we make some videos. So Mick and I proceeded to do just that and we posted those on Facebook and again got good feedback.
In July of 2013, we played our first gig for a friend of ours at his 65th birthday and retirement party. This was never part of the plan, so with only 11 songs we performed at the party and it was a big hit. Today we have put together over 100 + songs and the list continues to grow. Since that first gig, we have performed all over the greater Akron, Ohio area.
Briefly, we record all the instruments you hear along with the backing vocals and mix the tracks to have a live sound. When we perform live, I play guitar, keyboard and harmonica live and sing one harmony parts live while Mick sings the lead vocals live and plays some percussion instruments. So when you watch these videos, remember that everything you hear is coming from us, some of it live and some of it pre-recorded, but it is all us. So, even though we are a Rock and Soul Duo, we produce the sound of a full band.
