Rick May began classical violin training in Tacoma, Washington at age 11-but then he discovered rock music, quit his school orchestra, and never looked back.
For the past several years, Rick has worked full-time on Irish traditional tunes, playing at pub sessions and studying with noted fiddler Randal Bays. He performs with Martin Nyberg and David Denz in the band The Gold Ring and also with guitarist Gilbert Yslas. His wide-ranging repertoire and versatile technique make him an excellent choice for any occasion, from a rollicking Irish ceili dance to a formal wedding.
