Kid Conch (pronounced "konk," like the seashell) is an original project by singer/songwriter/guitarist, Rick Schettino. Kid Conch has chalked up airplay and interviews on scores of broadcast and internet radio shows. 

Part beach bum, part hippie, part gypsy, part country boy, Kid Conch’s music spans genres, but reflects his love of the tropical lifestyle, blending beach rock and surf rock, reggae and calypso, Cajun and blues, R&B and soul, country and western, and rock and roll into a signature sound based around his dynamic, soul-filled guitar playing. He's as comfortable strumming a steel-string acoustic guitar at a sidewalk cafe as he is slinging an electric guitar in front of show band. 

Rick launched his first solo project releasing a few original Kid Conch songs in late 2012 and immediately started getting airplay on internet and broadcast radio shows. In mid 2013 Kid Conch embarked on a 5-month-long nationwide, 29-state, 50-city road tour to introduce himself to the rest of the county. He has also performed as a featured artist and guest artist at music festivals around the country such as Meeting of the Minds, Music On the Bay, Stars Fell on Alabama, and more. 

After spending 6 months on the road over the summer of 2013 and then 6 months wintering in Key West, Kid Conch is now back in "the other Florida Keys," settled down on a little sandy stretch of paradise called Anna Maria Island off the Gulf Coast of Florida. Currently, Rick is focused on writing,  production, and radio promotion. He will resume booking shows around the country this summer.

Totally new musical project coming soon!
