Rick Holmstrom is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on May 30, 1965 in Fairbanks, Alaska, United States. Blues singer and guitarist, known for albums such as Hydraulic Groove or Live at the Cafe Boogaloo.
He has recorded with many jazz legends, including R.L. Burnside.
He joined William Clarke’s backing band, and played both lead and rhythm guitar for three years up to 1988. That same year, Holmstrom suffered a significant tragedy in his family, as his father and one of his sisters were killed in a whitewater rafting accident in Alaska’s Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Later joining forces with Johnny Dyer, Holmstrom played on his albums, Listen Up (1994) and Shake It! (1995). He moved on to join Rod Piazza’s backing group, the Mighty Flyers and, in 1996, released his first solo album, Lookout! on Black Top Records. It was an instrumental affair, about which one reviewer noted “Holmstrom’s inventive ideas are top-notch, making each track stand mightily on its own”.
However, Holmstrom continued to perform with Piazza, and help him record Tough and Tender (1997). By 2000, Holmstrom’s second solo effort, Gonna Get Wild was released on Tone-Cool Records, and he stayed long enough with Piazza’s backing ensemble to participate on Beyond the Source (2001). Holmstrom’s next release, Hydraulic Groove (2002) is one of his most daring efforts, where he used loops and samples, and incorporated elements of acid jazz/nu-jazz, funk and trip hop to his blues, featuring guest performances of John Medeski and DJ Logic. Hydraulic Groove peaked at number 9 in the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart. In 2005, Holmstrom played at the Dark Season Blues festival. Holmstrom turned to record production duties for other musicians before, in 2006, releasing Live at the Cafe Boogaloo.
His father, a DJ, was tragically killed during a whitewater-rafting accident.
