After having spent a decade rockin' out as part of an acoustic/electric duo, I've decided to go the solo route with my new material.
Reviews of previously released material are still relevant, with regard to style,focus and content - so, below you'll find some early review excerpts; followed by the more recent feedback on my solo efforts. ------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpts from Giglist.com - Where Rick Frost and Jen Sherman were voted "GigList Band of the Month, February, 2000":
"They are modern day crusaders who rock with musical messages of what's wrong in today's society .... crowd pleasers who generate excitement wherever they appear ....great stage presence ... accomplished musical style ...an impressive blend of acoustic/electric originals ...a great set, ( Power Slammed - A Musical Review, Roger Straub, The Trumpeter).

Commentary on Rick's, January, 2006, Solo Performance @ The Stony Creek Puppet Theater:
"Local artist, Rick Frost ...consummately folksy....with thin frame and Edgar Winter hair...immediately engaged the crowd with his congenial banter, dry humor and nimble licks on the acoustic guitar. With a nod to the "Year of the Dog", Rick began his self-penned tunes with "Dog Ditti", complete with howls. But the light intro belied a man on a poetic mission, and his politics and spirituality came through on the wings of some powerful lyrics as evidenced by "Homeless Joe" and "I Threw My Cell Phone In The Ocean Today" which he delivered in a vocal style somewhere between Arlo Gutherie and Elvin Bishop, a nice balance between sarcasm and genuine wordly concern. The package was effective and revved us up ....", ( A Night At The Puppet House With Rick Frost and Gandalf Murphy and The Slambovian Circus of Dreams, Brian Gillie, CTMUSICSCENE.COM
From the Slambovian Wonder Wall:
"Rick Frost was exceptional - a truly gifted guitarist and lyricist. He kind of looked like a sorcerer; sure played like one! I'd never seen him perform solo before and was blown away."
"Rick Frost opened and put on the best show I've seen him do yet. Whatever it is that you are doing Rick, keep on doing it.
