Rick Warren
Originally from Kingston, NY, Hudson-based Rick Warren has been deeply involved in the improvisational and experimental music scene fostered by renowned vibraphonist Karl Berger at the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, NY. It was Berger’s chance visit to Rick’s high school music theory class that led him to become a regular participant in twice-yearly workshops held at CMS, an international hot bed of improvisational music performance and education founded in 1971 by Berger, Ingrid Sertso and Ornette Coleman. Rick is well known for his soundscape compositions using his guitar and a variety of electronic sound sources, all totally improvised with no preconceived ideas, presented live many Sunday evenings from his Facebook page. Rick, or “Lightnin’ Rick” the name erroneously gifted to him in High School during a pizza lunch, has most recently joined the Hudson Valley Psych-Surf Rock outfit “spaceheater”, headquartered in the Woodstock/Saugerties area. Further adventures include Folk-Rock performances and recordings in the aptly named duo “Rick and Marilyn”. Rick is often called upon to perform with Gus “The Sultan of Sonic Soul” Mancini and the improvisational “Sonic Soul Awekestra”. Warren is also involved with the Woodstock-based soundpainting ensemble Audiocanvas, led by bassist Steve Rust and captured on the 2019 disc Some Bad Western.
