RICKI'S NIGHT OH! CABARET RETURNS
Dec 7, 2009

Ricki has assembled the cast of hundreds for the triumphant return of the funniest, most original variety show ever. For one night only, the Night OH! Cabaret will dazzle and delight. It's a musical, comedy, and variety show like no other. I could be described as Saturday Night Live meets the Dean Martin show. The Dallas Morning News calls it "Vaudeville with a twist!" This is going to be mother of a show celebrating the coolest scene that had them laughing for 10 years in Dallas. A chance to break away from the lame. Two shows 8:15 & 10:30 and it all takes place on one crazy Friday.

RICKI'S NEW CD AVAILABLE GLOBALLY...NOW

After a long hiatus from recording Ricki returns with a bang with his new self titled CD. This is a swingin' CD filled with the punch that only a 17 piece big band can deliver. Ten tracks of great songs from way back and some from the not so way back 80's. These original arrangements are exciting and a completely new take some classics. The CD is available through I Tunes and at Good Records on Lower Greenville Ave in Dallas and Cd Source on upper Greenville (more stores to follow locally) as well as right here on the merchandise page of the website. Some of the reviews.... "The feeling that stuck with me most from Saturday night, though, is what an incredible interpreter of songs he is." - KERA "Derek does the Chairman of the Board proud." -Fort Worth Weekly
