RICK REITH. Touring Audio Engineer, Tour Manager, Production Manager.

Another one gone too soon. Recorded in the pandemic, this is one of those unique moments that most of our touring colleagues never get. I am glad to have captured a moment with Rick to let him tell some stories from his incredible career with some legendary acts. We are treating this as all the rest of our video releases. Rick deserves to have his moment and to be remembered.

Rick was from the Cleveland, Ohio area, but moved to Nashville, TN to pursue his professional touring career. Rick’s skills as a stellar audio mixing engineer garnered him the respect and was in demand from a very diverse list of national and international artists.

Just over a year after this interview was recorded, Rick passed away unexpectedly in his home in Nashville, January of 2022.

Rick was a kind soul, a great friend, and he will be dearly missed by his family, tour mates, & friends.
