Rick Estrin, best known as the lead vocalist and harmonica player with Little Charlie and the Nightcats, has for over 30 years been a leading figure in the world of traditional blues harmonica playing.
Rick released his first album with Little Charlie and the Nightcats on Alligator Records in 1987 and has been touring and recording relentlessly for all of these years. Anyone who's seen one of his performances has experienced that Rick really knows how to connect with the audience and give a stellar show.

Rick Estrin is also a songwriter of unparalleled skill... winning the 1993 Blues Music Award for his composition, My Next Ex-Wife. Three of his songs found their way onto Grammy-nominated albums: Don't Put Your Hands On Me (from Koko Taylor's FORCE OF NATURE), I'm Just Lucky That Way (from Robert Cray's Shame + A Sin), and Homely Girl (from John Hammond's Trouble No More with Little Charlie & The Nightcats serving as his backing band). Other artists who have covered Estrin songs include Little Milton, Rusty Zinn, Kid Ramos and Mark Hummel.
Rick has been an important influence on many of today's great players and I'm really glad to have him with us to share his insights. www.rickestrin.com
