Rick Landers

Rick Landers is a singer-songwriter from Virginia with music that embraces many styles, from American and British folk traditions, historical and love ballads, country tunes and more.  He began performing in 2018 and has since played venues in Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C., that have included house concerts, festivals and special events. 

Rick is the publisher of Guitar International magazine, where he has interviewed such luminaries as: Les Paul, Jimmy Webb, Slash, Judy Collins, Buddy Guy, Tommy Emmanuel, Cindy Cashdollar, all the members of The Immediate Family (Sklar, Kunkel, Wachtel, Kortchmar & Postell) and many, many more. 

Since he returned to performing after decades, he's been interviewed by media outlets in Virginia (2x), Maryland and Arizona.  He is available for house concerts, live and virtual venues, festivals and special events. 

Rick's many influences include musicians we all know, but also lesser known artists, such as Tim Buckley, Nick Drake, Judee Sill, John Martyn, Roy Harper, Jimmie Spheeris and more.

Some of the song titles here don't line up with the song music....so, several are placeholders and we'll be replacing the wrong music with the right music....so, this site is under development!

Thanks for your patience. 

Oh, and if you click on "Lyrics" in the Tracks area, you can view the lyrics while listening to the songs....several songs are in the works.  Rick is adding guitar tabs to his music and his song track title will note where TABS are completed. 

This year, Rick plans on getting back into the studio in order to pull together his debut album of original material.

Three new tracks were recently added: "Leviathan", "London After Michigan", and "Angel on the Wing." And, the songs, below, have been sequenced in alphabetical order, and some have music mis-aligned with the titled track...working to fix this!

Thanks for listening!
