My guest this week is guitarist/songwriter RIK EMMETT!
After a dozen PLATINUM albums from ‘75 to ‘88 with TRIUMPH (who celebrated their legacy and rise to stardom with the documentary “Rock and Roll Machine”), Rik has now released 25 more solo projects. Six decades in the biz have landed him in five halls, including the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, along with a few Best Guitarist awards. Rik has also released a poetry collection titled REINVENTION and a memoir, LAY IT ON THE LINE. His latest work is a collection of instrumental pieces called TEN TELECASTER TALES, and it’s accompanied by a book with detailed liner notes and personal stories.
This super entertaining chat was done in person at Rik's beautiful home in his cozy studio. We chatted so long I've decided to release our conversation in two parts.
In this Part 1, we dive deep into Rik's solo career after leaving Triumph. We chat about the creative process, his roots, influences, philosophy, and spirituality involved in writing and recording. Additional stories, career highlights, jams with George Benson and Alex Lifeson and a Juno-nominated album with Pavlo make part 1 a MUST listen!
Stay tuned for Part 2 for a deep dive into Rik Emmett's ENTIRE Triumph career!
