About Me

Come on in and join the world of Rico Southee, a versatile guitarist with a passion to engage others with his music. His love for the guitar and his ability to express himself through the gift of music is to be admired. He gives himself totally to any performance. On every stage, large or small, he performs a kaleidoscope of musical styles. Whether he is playing soul, funk, blues, latin, or jazz; it is always with his own unique texture. Most importantly he connects with audiences on a personal level when he plays his original music.Rico’s versatility as a guitarist has provided him the opportunity to perform at the Jacksonville Jazz Festival in Florida and the Viana Do Castelo Jazz Festival in Portugal. He’s traveled extensively around the world and has played countries such as Norway, Sweden, Russia, England, Germany, Austria, Italy, Romania, Greece, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the southern United States and the Dominica Republic. When Rico is not performing, he helps further his passion for the guitar by composing music, teaching private students and performing as a guest recording artist. The one thing that you will always remember when you see him perform is that he will reach into the deepest parts of himself to give you his passion for musical expression.
