Rick Webster Project

After producing his first EP in 2011, Rick Webster decided it was time for an experiment. He wanted to combine his love of great melodic guitar work with a hint of jazz and combine it with pop/soul/contemporary style music. Rick sat down and wrote a collection of tunes and enlisted in the help of amazing Perth vocalist 'Allira Wilson' (whom featured on the first Rick Webster EP). The result is a combination of musical styles that is 'The Rick Webster Project' Rick took the opportunity to also find some of the finest musicians and producers in Perth that he knew would bring the music to life. Including Drummer Ben Vanderwal, Johannes Luebbers on keys, It gave the music a depth that was required to cover a wide range of styles presented. It was then produced by Perth Bassist Matt Bell, Who had the musical sensitivity to bring out the essence of each song and capture the various moods and musicianship in the EP. The EP has gained a lot of attention from both musicians and casual listeners. Songs such as 'Write it for me' and 'Grapevine Stories' reflect Rick's love of Steely Dan era pop music. Smooth production combined with great musicianship, but also combined with a catchy melody to attract a listener. Other songs on the EP such as 'Long way home' show Rick's love of acoustic music and the telling of a story.
