Описание: Australian Singer/Songwriter Rick Price has walked the journey many musicians’ dreams are made of.

We caught up with Rick at the end of his 2025 Australian Tour to reflect on his latest album 'Hometown', and talk about iconic songs, the sense of home and the pull of Nashville... oh, and 'the meaning of life'...

From his humble beginnings as a child performer with his family band in country Queensland dance halls, this self-taught artist has forged an internationally praised and respected career spanning three decades.

Multiple gold and platinum selling albums and numerous music industry awards including the prestigious APRA Song Of The Year award for his song “Heaven Knows” and both the APRA and Export Music Australia awards for his outstanding achievements abroad, are just some of his accolades.

In 2009 a move to the United States sparked not only new influences and a broader style for Price but also a return to his childhood musical roots. While there are still echoes of a pop artist, country rhythm and blues, meld beautifully with folk undertones to create the hybrid sounds of albums such as “The Water’s Edge”, “Tennessee Sky” and “Soulville”.

Audiences all over the globe are moved by Rick’s amazing voice and soulful songs. A multi-instrumentalist, he is clearly the consummate performer.

Price is also a well-respected Producer, helping other artists to refine their songs in the studio.

Currently Rick resides in Nashville, Tennessee where he continues to write and record his music.
