Ricky Stein

Austin-born, New York-based musician Ricky Stein writes songs that seek spiritual common ground between the mesas of West Texas and the cobblestones of South Brooklyn. Song titles such as "American Dreaming," "The Great Empty," and "The Night Is Young" depict city life in the modern era; "The Tex-Mex Song" balances out the set with good-natured humor. All songs are delivered with Stein's earnest baritone, accompanied by Aron Caceres on standup bass and Justin Camerer on electric guitar.
