Rick Denzien - Exit 21 - Slot-1

Denzien is a singer-songwriter from Philly who puts an emphasis on quality lyrics and the importance of good melodic structure. His songs are personal slices of life and observation that work on a cerebral as well as visceral level. Whether it's an acoustic - based ballad or an up tempo rocker, Denzien and company maintain a commanding presence that really draws you in. Fans of Matchbox 20, Melissa Etheridge, the Wallflowers, etc.... will appreciate his earnest guitar work and rich vocal harmonies.
