The Rick Reyes Quartet

Saturday, June 13th – Show @ 7pm – Doors at 6:30

Rick Reyes is a singer, songwriter, and cultural storyteller whose work draws from Caribbean folk traditions, American roots music, and lived experience. His music moves between solo work and collaborative projects, grounded in rhythm, story, and place. The work comes from lived experience and the human spirit.

Reyes creates music that has a traditional Puerto Rican flavor but is also open and receptive to other sounds from around the cosmos, blending classic American Rock, Salsa, Merengue, and Latin jazz, among others.

To date, Reyes has created and plays in three bands: the Cosmic Jibaros, a band with a unique Bridgeport sound combining a mixture of  rock, Puerto Rican roots, and socially-conscious songs; The Pasofino Social Club, which is a nod to the Latin bands of yesterday; and Novela sin Tiempo, an all acoustic group with a Latin and world-music flavor.

Released in 2013, Novela Sin Tiempo (Timeless Story) is also the name of his solo album, a collection of songs that tell a story of struggle and determination, of daring to dream, and of the courage it takes to step into the unknown.
