Ricky Byrd and Mavis Staples

Post By Ricky Byrd

I was lucky enough to be part of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame event in Cleveland last weekend.I’m in the House band with Liberty DeVitto (Billy Joel), Jeff Carlisi(38 Special), Jeff Adams(Starship), Rob Arthur (Peter Frampton) and singer Tabitha Fair.

We’ve been doing this every year except one since 2006, and have had the pleasure to back up a bunch of great artists over the years, but baby this year was it!!! Not only did we play with Darlene Love, Chuck Jackson, Ronnie Spector and Tears for Fears lead singer Curt Smith…but the one and only Mavis Staples. Mavis Staples I said!! Talk about a Ray of Light.

First off when she came to sound check she remembered all of our names, which is not the case for most artists we play with. Then she teased me about looking like a young Dylan who she dated in the 60’s..just a sweetheart. The room lit up when she walked in. We did 3 tunes with Mavis..”The Weight”, “Wrote a Song for everyone” and I’ll take you there!!

When she started “I’ll take you there” I looked around and everyone on stage(including me) had tears in there eyes. Mavis was testifyin’.. and this was just sound check..lol.

Before the show I went up to her dressing room to say how much it meant to this long time sober lad to play with someone as spiritual as she and we talked for about a 1/2 hr. I walked out of there floating on air. Just a joy to be around. The show itself was better than great and it is an experience I’ll never forget. I get to do all these cool things because I’m sober, show up and can be trusted to do a good job. Grateful, Sober and Ready to Rock I am!!!

G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment Program is located in North Miami Beach, Florida. Surrounded by the warmth of the sun and lush tropical breezes clients come to escape from the clutches of the disease of addiction .

This reduces distractions and gives the individual an opportunity to fully engage in treatment and to learn the coping skills necessary to stay clean and sober when they return to their home environment. Their clients come from all over the country and world seeking a program to give them the solid foundation on which to recover, to begin a life free from mood altering substances.

Rockers In Recovery Free Concert May 28 2011

Rockers In Recovery Free Concert May 28 2011 « Holistic Lifestyles Radio

Rockers In Recovery Free Concert May 28 2011

Rockers In Recovery Free Concert


FREE Concert- Rockers In Recovery Memorial Day Weekend Concert May 28, 2011 1:30PM – 6:30 PM EST Featuring: Ricky Byrd Guitarist of the NYC Hit Squad and formerly of Joan Jett And The Blackhearts along with Kasim Sulton Bassist of Todd Rundgren and Utopia ,Mick Jagger, and Celine Dion. Along with 3 other great bands Johnny B. and the Road Dogs, Keep Coming Back Band, and Rhetoric. Come out and join us at the 1st Step Sober House Memorial Day Free Concert at 450 sw 2nd st. Pompano Beach, FL. Find out more by calling 877-799-8773

The following is our lineup for the Concert:

4:30-6:30 PM EST

Singer-songwriter-guitarist Ricky Byrd’s new CD which he describes as “one part acoustic soul, one part rock n roll” -marks quite a departure from his days with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Byrd is still rail-thin, still has the haystack of hair and a truckload of attitude, but maturity has served to deepen and expand his talent. Byrd says that the work on his latest project with producer Ray Kennedy “is a natural progression. I went back to the college of musical knowledge, listening to the songs that still, to this day, raise the hair on my arms. Digging deep, trying to find the secret ingredient, studying the craft of songwriting. Now I feel like I’ve got a pretty cool batch of my own songs and I’m ready to show them to the world.”

Billboard described Byrd’s last effort, a limited edition live CD called, with typical Byrd-esque humor, “Tough Room This World”: For many, Ricky Byrd needs no introduction. For others, a brief step back in time may be needed. After…Byrd parted ways with the Blackhearts (he) found himself collaborating with the likes of Roger Daltrey (and) Ian Hunter.

Apparently, others discovered what Jett had known all along: Byrd is one accomplished musician, singer and songwriter.” In fact, Jett and Daltrey (on his solo release “Rocks In The Head”) are among the many artists who have cut covers of Byrd’s material he’s had over 45 of his songs recorded by others — and his music has also been featured on television and in films.

Download Ricky Byrd’s new single “Broken Is A Place” to a CD and bring it with you to the The Memorial Day Weekend Free Concert Saturday May 28, 2011. Ricky will signing the downloaded CD’s at 6:30 PM EST.
