Sometime around 1994 four musicians came together and became the band Freeride. They rehearsed for a month and landed a 6 month gig at Castaway's in Littleville, Alabama. After that they began playing at the Oasis Club in Littleville.
The gig was Friday and Saturday nights from 8:30pm-4:00am. During this period one by one all the original members left the band except Ricky Pierce who replaced them with other musicians, such as J.J.Bartlett,and held the gig for 4 straight years! They also played other clubs from Jasper, Alabama to Lawrenceburg, Tenn., and opened for T. Graham Brown in 1998 at the Keller Festival.
Ricky Pierce performed at The World Famous Tootsie's Orchid Lounge in Nashville on New Years Eve 2004. In the spring of 2005 Ricky was chosen out of 150 songwriters by Walt Aldridge to be in his workshop at ASCAP in Nashville .Ricky has a song he wrote with Shooters guitarist Barry Billings on a motion picture soundtrack.Ricky has performed at the Muscle Shoals Songwriter's Showcase in 1997 & 1998 and with Tommy Glasgow in 1998 also.
