Rick Mareske

Began playing folk music and rock in 1968 as a singer songwriter. Became interested in jazz in college and have continued studying and playing throughout my life. Recently my love for standards has won out. I love everything from gypsy jazz to Miles. In Last Free Exit I play guitar, steel pans and sing and am joined by a bassist and mandolinist who loves Jethro Burns and Django. I also play in the Cynthia Van Roden Trio. Cynthia is a top notch vocalist who likes to add the verses to some of the old tunes. I also love to play with some of our city's best bassists.
