Rik Emmett Concert Tickets

Rik Emmett has his fair share of gold and platinum hanging on the wall after surviving three decades in the music business, after first surfacing as the lead guitarist, singer/songwriter of the rock trio Triumph. Awards like Best Guitarist at the 1981 Canadian Juno Awards, induction into the Canadian Rock Hall of Fame in ‘93, and Best Smooth Jazz Guitarist in 2005 highlight an ever- evolving career. There’s a true singer/songwriter at the heart of it all – a multi-dimensional artist, with nothing to prove except the dignity and maturity of his continuing commitment to great music.

Sound: Swing Shift is legendary guitar virtuoso Rik Emmett's fifth album and like the previous four is amazing. Crafted by a humble artist who has yet to lose brilliant ear for writing spiritually influenced masterpieces.

Well done, if derivative, The Spiral Notebook skirts the edges of power pop, hard rock, stadium rock, and quite a bit more (on the opening "Anything You Say," Emmett's vocals have a startling resemblance to those of Rod Stewart) There's an Eagles flavor to "Raise High," which does the same job of co-opting reggae that "Hotel California" did, and this is the pattern that the entire album follows -- it becomes a little like listening to an hour of AOR radio.
