July 16, 2026 - Having The Best time ever at @greyfoxbluegrass I am honored to be the evening MC of The Catskill Stage - The Dance Tent. The music is incredible! The crowd is energetic and fun!! One of the treats was I got to introduce my friend Amy Helm and her incredible band which also included Charley Drayton on drums! Also did a little interview with Amy. More to come. @amyhelmmusic @981kze @draytoncharley #greyfoxbluegrass #rickspic #981kze by @rick.wkze

Rock the Quarry is just 2 weeks away!! It’s highly recommended to get your tickets in advance as last year’s fest sold out ahead of time 🎶If you haven’t seen live music at Opus 40 yet, it’s a magical experience. Incredible community vibe among the sculptures with a spacious lawn at the base of overlook Mountain, which also provides a beautiful sunset, plus local food and drink vendors. This year we’ve got an incredible evening of music celebrating the region’s local legends and rising stars featuring the RTQ Band (Cindy Cashdollar, Will Bryant, Rich Pagano, Ben Zwerin, and myself) performing Beatles classics and originals joined by Jay Collins’ Gravy Train, Storey Littleton, Sandy Bell, Laura Stevenson, Chogyi Lama, and more. Under the musical direction of yours truly, presented with Opus 40 and The Local. 🎟️ Tickets at opus40.org 🎟️ by @rick.wkze
