But his greatest passion is singing Gods praise's with his All-Star buddies.
The Rick Tatum group along with his All-Star friends are performing all over the Southland and beyond. With this stellar line up and 5 star experience (Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, St Regis) The RTG is a must see. The group includes Melvin Lee Davis (A true covenant brother) on bass guitar, Paul Pesco (Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey,J-Lo) on lead guitar, Tom Zink Jazz Keyboardist extraordinaire... and the awesome John Ferraro (Larry Carlton, George Benson) on drums, as well as incredible Saxophone guests. This is one FUNKY group. Recently, Rick was asked to do some crooning with keyboard player David Garfield (if you haven't heard him play you probably live underground).This guys is amazing, what A resume. From Jazz Festivals, Concerts to Singing in Church, Rick is stoked to be making music with his friends. God is good!
