Artist of the Day June 8th Ricky Byrd
Artist of the Day June 8th Ricky Byrd
by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on Jun.08, 2011, under Home
Rockers In Recovery Host John Hollis said during his interview with Ricky Byrd “Folks I just listened to the mastered version of the song it went right to the heart and had us all in tears. “Broken Is A Place” will touch many people and help many people find a new way of life”.
“Broken Is A Place”- the new song written by Ricky Byrd/Richie Supa ,Co produced by Ricky Byrd/Bob Stander, Drums: Shawn Murray, Bass: Bob Stander, Guitars: Ricky Byrd Vocals: Ricky Byrd, Keyboards: Richie Supa, Mixed: Bob Stander, Mastered: Ray Kennedy in Nashville.
“Broken Is A Place” is a must for any download collection. Ricky went to a place only one who has been there can write about and though this song can let others know change is possible.
Ricky Byrd Bio:
Lotta dues Jim, Lotta dues
That’s a line from a play about Lenny Bruce, and man oh man ain’t that the truth!!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining! I’ve had an unbelievable career so far and I’m very grateful.
Imagine a 13 year old sitting in his bedroom with his first guitar that “almost” stays in tune. He’s dreaming big dreams, hoping someday……you know the rest!
Well I got my wish. I’ve traveled the world with Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, had a couple of hit records and played guitar for two of my favorites–Roger Daltrey and Ian Hunter. I’ve also had the damn good fortune to have shared a stage with everyone from Jimmy Page, Leslie West, Steve Marriott to Rufus Thomas (I got to “Walk the Dog”)
I’ve had artists who I love and respect cover songs I’ve written ,and even got to decorate a wall in Byrdland with a few gold and platinum records.
Nice huh?
Problem is I’m not the kind that can rest on my laurels (you know how painful that can be!).
This is now and now I’m a solo artist–playing my songs, making my music and fighting my battles!
To be honest I’m feeling a little punchy from all the fighting.
But I promise you this…they’’ll have to carry me out of the ring still swingin’ and still singin’.
Let’s face it the music business (what’s left of it) is not for the faint of heart. it can break your spirit and leave you bitter.”It was you Charlie…you shoulda watched out for me. I coulda been a contender!”
Sorry, I had a Brando moment!.
Anyway as the saying goes… you buttered your bread now you gotta sleep in it…or something like that.
Where was I? Oh yeah
These days I have no illusions or expectations other than making the coolest music I can and have fun doing it.
So keep your eyes and ears open cause sooner or later I’ll be coming to your town. It might be a stadium,a theatre,a club or maybe even a coffeehouse, but you can bet the farm I’ll have a big ass grin on my face and be happy to be there.
See you in the trenches, Ricky

Richard “Richie” Supa (born Richard Goodman in Massapequa, New York) is an American songwriter and guitarist best known for his work with Aerosmith and Richie Sambora.
Richard Supa released several albums under his own name, including “Supa’s Jamboree” (1971, Paramount 6009), “Homespun” (197?), “Lifelines” (1976, Epic PE34277) and “Tall Tales” (1978, Polydor PD-1-6155). Richard’s song “Stone County Wanted Man”, which appeared on the “Supa’s Jamboree” album, was recorded by Johnny Winter for his “Saints and Sinners” album.
A longtime friend of Aerosmith, he has made a number of musical contributions to the band and has offered moral support. He temporarily replaced Joe Perry when he left the band in 1979 until a replacement was found. Additionally, he helped co-write several songs, including the hits “Chip Away the Stone” (1978), “Lightning Strikes” (1982), “Amazing” (1993), and “Pink” (1997), among others.
Supa co-wrote most of the songs on Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora’s second solo album Undiscovered Soul. He also wrote the song “Misery” for the album Missundaztood by Pink, on which Aerosmith’s singer Steve Tyler and Richie Sambora collaborated and co-wrote the song “My Interpretation” from Mika‘s debut album Life in Cartoon Motion. He also co wrote Back on Earth for OZZY
Richie’s career was launched via the legendary Long Island Band “The Rich Kids” who were signed by Clive Davis to Columbia Records. Richie also went on to a career on Broadway where he had the lead role in the hit musical “HAIR”. He became a household name in the Northeast which helped to launch his now 30+ year career.
Artists who have cut his songs reads like a who’s who of the music industry, with over 50 million records sold.Richie’s songs have appeared in Disney movies, feature films and on network television, including the hit show Melrose Place. Richie co-wrote with Richie Sambora on his most recent solo album and tours with Sambora on his solo project. He currently makes Nashville his home away from home working with some of the best writers in town bringing his rock and blues edge to the modern Nashville sound.
Richie collaborates with hit song writers such as Brett James, Dave Berg Stephony Smith, Keith Follese, Big Kenny of Big and Rich and Shelly Fairchild. Richie’s love for music keeps him writing and producing in the studio whether it’s rock, pop, or country.
He keeps his playing skills honed by keeping busy playing his hits live at songwriter events all over the country, along with his passion for helping with charities involved with children.

May 28th Rockers In Recovery Concert Review
by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on Jun.06, 2011, under Home
Thrown Alive was the first band up they were followed by Rhetoric, Johnny B. and The Road Dogs, and The Keep Coming Back Band.
We at Rockers In Recovery were lucky enough to have some very special artists such as Ricky Byrd formerly of Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, long time Aerosmith friend Richie Supa, and Kasim Sulton of Todd Rundgren who performed as our last band of the night. Their performance was outstanding!! Everyone in the crowd was singing along and enjoying the moment.
I was able to meet all of the bands. They were all pleased with the turn out and they were having a blast giving back what was freely given to them RECOVERY from addiction.
Rockers In Recovery thanks all of the bands and the 1St Step Sober House and its staff for all their hard work. Join us next at the 12 Step Music Fest November 3-6, 2011. Click Here For More Information on the lineup so far with many more to be announced by September 2011.

The following is our lineup for the Concert:
4:45-6:45 PM EST
Singer-songwriter-guitarist Ricky Byrd’s new CD which he describes as “one part acoustic soul, one part rock n roll” -marks quite a departure from his days with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Byrd is still rail-thin, still has the haystack of hair and a truckload of attitude, but maturity has served to deepen and expand his talent. Byrd says that the work on his latest project with producer Ray Kennedy “is a natural progression. I went back to the college of musical knowledge, listening to the songs that still, to this day, raise the hair on my arms. Digging deep, trying to find the secret ingredient, studying the craft of songwriting. Now I feel like I’ve got a pretty cool batch of my own songs and I’m ready to show them to the world.”
Billboard described Byrd’s last effort, a limited edition live CD called, with typical Byrd-esque humor, “Tough Room This World”: For many, Ricky Byrd needs no introduction. For others, a brief step back in time may be needed. After…Byrd parted ways with the Blackhearts (he) found himself collaborating with the likes of Roger Daltrey (and) Ian Hunter.
Apparently, others discovered what Jett had known all along: Byrd is one accomplished musician, singer and songwriter.” In fact, Jett and Daltrey (on his solo release “Rocks In The Head”) are among the many artists who have cut covers of Byrd’s material he’s had over 45 of his songs recorded by others — and his music has also been featured on television and in films.
Download Ricky Byrd’s new single “Broken Is A Place” to a CD and bring it with you to the The Memorial Day Weekend Free Concert Saturday May 28, 2011. Ricky will signing the downloaded CD’s at 6:30 PM EST.

His level of involvement has ranged from playing bass, keyboards, and/or guitar, to adding vocal harmonies, singing lead, and contributing as a songwriter, to producing entire albums, as he did with the Meat Loaf VH-1 Storytellers CD, released in 1999. There isn’t much he hasn’t done in his 25 years in the music industry. Visit Kasim at his website at: http://www.kasimsulton.com/
