Michael Ricks knows a thing or two about survival and you can hear it in every note he plays, in every line he sings. There is an undeniably clear resonance about him. His faith is tried and true and while there are many layers to his story, music is the universal language and a (moving) picture is worth a thousand words, so let’s go down to the river for Our Story Our Song.
You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Isaiah 55:12
Our Story Our Song traces the roots of our stories through the beauty of our lands to the place where we connect, the place we call home. From back porches to basement churches, barn lofts to bonfires, we gather round the music — performed live, straight from the heart, way out in God’s country. We’ll meet you there.
