Interview with Rick from The Oregonian, January 2004

Spanning from classic rockers through heavy metal and grunge with a side trip in the spandex laden land of the hair bands, Bigger Than Jesus gives a glimpse of how deeply music affects the life of a young man. Very impressed by the powerful performance of Rick Emerson who takes the audience with him through hell and back guided by some rather unlikely spiritual influences. Bet you never thought of Robert Plant, Jon Bon Jovi, or Axl Rose as guardian angels, huh?

Illusionaire

I dare you to not find at least one snippet of material that you cannot relate to. Rick tells the tale of a troubled kid growing up in a troubled family which leads to his discovery of those about to rock! His show is full of passion, he pulls out a Radio Raheem on us with LOVE on one fist and HATE on the other and beats us with it until we submit.
