Ricky Stein — artist

Ricky Stein

Ricky Stein's music vies for equal footing between two of his strongest influences: traditional roots-rock/Americana and progressive indie-rock. A reverence for music history combined with the desire to create something different and new drives the Austin-born, NYC-based singer/songwriter to make music that reflects the spirit of his hometown, both past and present. A lifelong Austinite before moving to New York City in August 2016, Stein got his start playing opening sets for Calvin Russell and J.T. Van Zandt (son of legendary Texas songwriter Townes Van Zandt) at East Austin's Long Branch Inn. A weekly gig at the Hole in the Wall soon followed, and before long Stein and his band were performing at some of the best venues in town, including the Saxon Pub, the Continental Club, and the Cactus Cafe. In 2009, Stein released his first album, Crazy Days, produced by Matt Hubbard and recorded at Willie Nelson's Luck, TX headquarters. A national tour followed, along with strong reviews from the Austin American-Statesman, the Houston Chronicle, and the Dallas Morning News.
