With a musical upbringing that encompasses rhythm and blues, electric blues, acid rock and psychedelic soul, Rick Bryant's lengthy career stands as a testament to the US soul, R&B and gospel singers he admires.
Rick Bryant first hit the Wellington live scene in 1968, performing in the Pretty Things-inspired rhythm and blues band Original Sin and Chicago-blues act Gutbucket.
In 2000, Bumper Books published 32 of his lyrics as a collection called Clever Monkeys.
The Windy City Strugglers were the subject of the Costa Botes-directed 2005 documentary, Struggle No More.
