Hello social media world!  My name is Ric Roccapriore and I am a musician, educator and now artist. 

I was born in Meriden, CT and lived in Boston, MA and I currently live in Los Angeles, CA with my lovely wife and too many cats! 

I thought this day would never come but I am thrilled to share with you my first album entitled Résumé.  It’s a tribute to the great music of New Orleans and the artists I have been so fortunate to work with throughout my career. 

The band is called Catfish Critters and it is comprised of some of the most in-demand musicians.  I can’t thank them enough for taking this journey with me. 

You will be hearing my arrangements of songs by Edgar Winter, Sophie B. Hawkins, Engelbert Humperdinck, MALO, Jason Mraz and yes… Berlin. 

If you are willing and able to donate, you can do so through my  website ricrocc.com or catfishcritters.com or through the Tip Jar Button on my site.  If you use Venmo, please include what format of the album and shipping address in the notes or send me a private email. 

Thank you so much and I apologize for the annoying promotion but somebody has got to do it! 

Cheers to 2023!
