About Me

Ricardo Sweatt Rodriguez is a guitarist, works as a solo artist and runs his own record label & concert company - Omeros.net
When asked what style of music he plays, he says "Acoustic fusion. I once played for Larry Coryell and this is what he called it. It's the best description of what I do. Before, I never knew quite what to call my playing. Artists in all genres of music inspire me. Yet my playing doesn't fall in any one category."

See RSR in concert supporting his new CD "Grande Reservoir" and experience the spectaculera of his acoustic fusion!RSR fact: Ricardo has studied art in 14 cities across China.
