GIG GUIDE

Who‘s playing in local clubs

Mike Rickard

This Atlanta singer–songwriter belts out his lyrics with a quavering tenor and wears his heart on his sleeve. If coy were zero and earnest were 10, Rickard would be an 11. I've lied, I've cried, I've prayed, denied / I've tried to be a better man / I won't give it up until I lay me down / But I'll smile and say anyhow / That's just who I am. Those lines are from a track from Rickard‘s slickly produced CD, “Stirred, Not Shaken.” Rickard has been nominated for Outmusic‘s Outstanding Debut Male Recording award.

Playing at 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23, at the Dripdrop Cafe, 206 Russell Parkway, Suite 300, Warner Robins. 918-0007. No Cover.
