Bio
Rick Jarrett can sing!
Music is the fabric of Rick's life. Recognized as a talented and deeply gifted singer early in his life, his pursuit of music was stalled by the call to serve his country. He proudly displays his Vietnam memorabilia; a cap, a shirt, and knowing nod of recognition to another soldier. Realities of life after war led Rick on a new path, a necessity which allowed him to provide for a wife and three children. After more than 15 years as a successful, self-employed businessman, he returned to his first love… music.
Today, Rick is an accomplished vocalist and entertainer. When he performs, his audience pays attention because no matter what genre he offers, it is always top notch entertainment. He has hone his chops to include Smooth Jazz, R&B, Country, Show Tunes, Pop, and a genre he likes to call Acoustic Soul.
During his shows you may be treated to "Summer Wind” from his Back to Romance CD and be reminded of Johnny Mathis, or hear a lil’ country tune like his most popular, “If Only”, a ballad of remorse, or a funky cover of Bill Withers, “Use Me”. You may hear him croon, “Old Man River” from Showboat (a signature tune with the great back story!) or work the room with a Cab Calloway group sing, “Minnie The Moocher.” This one's a favorite at his Senior Assisted-Living and Senior group shows. Check out the "Giving Back" section for more on his senior shows.
