Music / Media
You can play music using the flash player to the left. If you navigate away the player will restart, so most of the links on the site open in new windows or tabs.
You can grab my podcast here: Right Click here, copy the link, and put it into your podcatcher (itunes, etc..)
You can download the mp3's from the player here:

You can support independent music by picking up a cd from CdBaby. I'd love it
if you bought a copy of my latest CD, East
You can get some mp3s on iTunes, but I'd understand if you didn't since they make the files less than portable. Maybe try Rhapsody instead.
If you've 'joined' the mailing list, you can log in and check for new recordings as I post them.
Shows
I don't have any shows coming up right now, but I am looking for some. If you know of any venues that host original music, especially singer-songwriters, please let me know.
You can contact me by emailing, rick at rickcusick dot com.
Rick Cusick
Hi, my name is Rick Cusick, and this is my website.
I'm a singer songwriter based in Charlotte, Vermont. Until recently I was based in Brooklyn, NY, and I haven't yet updated all of my website, so please bear with me.
People who have seen me play live have told me that I sound like a variety of artists, like Jack Johnson, Seal, Dave Matthews, James Blunt, Gary Jules, Michael Penn, and James Taylor. I like all their music, so that kind of makes sense. My musical heros are Marvin Gaye, Daniel Lanois, Jeff Buckley, and Richard Thompson.
I try to write songs that tell stories, sometimes true personal and sometimes allegorical. And sometimes I like to write pop.
I love to sing, which is why I learned to play guitar.
I built this website with some help from my friends, I hope you like it.
