How does a Singer/Songwriter without a record deal or a manager release 12 independent albums, take his music international, work with some of the biggest names in music, and feature in a movie with John Oates in a Brian Johnson film? Rich simply says, "it happens when vibrational frequencies align."

Rich Hardesty is an independent artist from LaPorte, Indiana. His passion for music began early when his mother started him on piano lessons at the age of 8 sitting on the bench next to him. As he grew older, he taught himself guitar, harmonica, a little percussion, and the art of performing on a unicycle on a treadmill. He then decided to record his first album, “Jones’n”, in 1992. This album launched his 20+ year music career once his college fans went crazy over the album.

Rich’s signature sound stems from the diversity of the beautiful world constantly surrounding and inspiring him. He takes his fans on a unique "Jamerican" musical journey by fusing the emotions of the tropics of Jamaica with his feel good vibe from the corn fields of Indiana. Rich’s style beautifully blends the lively sounds of reggae, the mellow moods of an acoustic songwriter, the storytelling of a true folk lover, and elements of rock 'n' roll to deliver music that is authentically Rich. His music is truly a reflection of his life.

Because of his travels through Jamaica over the years, Rich was fortunate enough to open for Skip Marley at Bob Marley’s 71st birthday bash at the Marley Museum in February 2016. This coincided with the launch of his album "The Sunset Show" featuring Julian Marley, Bongo Herman and Sly Dunbar, which led to a show with The Wailers in his backyard at The Vogue Theater in Indianapolis, IN.

He has also toured nationally with Pepper and Slightly Stoopid as well as recorded with Greg Wright from Michael Jackson/Mick Fleetwood, Dig Lewis from Tina Turner/Stevie Wonder, Moe ZMD from Mellencamp/Wallflowers/2Pac, Michael Smith from The Why Store, and a host of other artists over the years. He was also the headliner for John Mellencamp’s 50th birthday celebration, and has had many endorsements throughout his career.

Rich is launching his new EP "You Know Me" recorded in Nashville, TN with multi-Grammy-award-winning engineer and producer Chad Carlson (Taylor Swift), produced by Randy 'Rockit' Barr, and featuring Kenny Greenburg from Kenny Chesney on lead guitar.

Simply put, Rich has a musical magnetism about him. His fans love him for both who he is and the music he creates. His ability to guide listeners on a journey from the island jungles to the corn fields to the beaches of the world through music and back again is unmatched in its depth and authenticity. Dive into the ocean of Rich's music and let him paint his pictures in the landscape of your mind.

With a laid back personality and an earnest desire for the underdog, Anthony understands that with hard work and a passionate drive ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Believing that everything happens for a reason and each individual has a divine purpose, his hope for the future is to open an affordable music school to give those less fortunate the opportunity to express themselves, musically, in their own way. 
Anthony has a genuine compassion for his art and is not bound by genre. He’s a poet, a songwriter and a musical connoisseur. His optimistic swag and caring heart possess the ability to push against the struggle to emerge on the other side of the ever so competitive world of entertainment, believing that one day his music will transcend connecting people.

After having been nominated in two GRAMMY® categories, and as a proud member of both BMI, AFM and the RIAA - I'm fortunate to work with A-List entertainers and up and coming stars – including some of the biggest names in the entertainment and business world: Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, Lindsey Buckingham, 3M, Goodyear and Blockbuster Video. 

While producing, mixing and composing for radio, TV, film - I am comfortable in a variety of genres stemming from Pop to Metal and from R&B to Traditional and Smooth Jazz.

I've also honed my business executive acumen serving at the upper-levels of companies including Otari, NEOTEK, REP/SVC Magazine and GATE International. You can review an abridged version of my Discography at my website (www.davidruttenberg.com).

I've completed international project work for Jeff Berlin, Russ Freeman, The Rippingtons and Eric Marienthal. In the process, my work has been featured along side of tracks and has been performed by Chick Corea, Peter Erskine and Russell Ferrante. Somehow, I’ve also managed to raise awareness and money for pediatric cancer by producing my own jazz solo albums - Sunset Key and Miracles.

All of this came at a price! Specifically, I mastered my performance, engineering and production skills with degrees from the University of Miami School of Music and College of Engineering. I like to think that my easy-going style is balanced by my ever-increasing love of all things technical and creative.

Lastly, I'm equally at home in recording, mixing and mastering studios working on major and independent projects.

True artists open themselves up, and allow creativity and passion to break barriers, shape dreams and forge futures. Pursuing music as a career, and ultimately a catalyst for change, is not something Ayron had to consciously plan. And it’s not something he takes lightly. He always knew it was his destiny, even as a young boy. For Ayron, it’s not about creating music for fame, fortune and personal gain. He wants to use his soulful harmonies—what he calls “Groove Music”—to offer love and hope to the less fortunate.

A native of Ft. Pierce, Florida, as a child, Ayron used to perform as Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder for his family. “I used to imagine I was them on stage in front of millions of people,” he recalls. The stage was his mother’s dining room floor on Saturdays; sometimes, it was the coffee table. While he didn’t receive a musical education in the formal sense, he grew up in church, was influenced by Gospel and comes from a musical family. After graduating from college, Ayron began to pursue his career.
 
The right people recognize real, raw talent. Ayron’s stage presence and performance abilities have been refined by none other than James Watkins, the father of T-Boz of the legendary TLC; and Roosevelt “Roc” Williams has mentored Ayron in the areas of vocal styling, laying harmonies and the recording process. Ayron has had the privilege of singing background for Angie Stone and opening up for R & B artist Tank. Get ready: he is about to unleash his sound

FireLight is a "wonder where they've been hiding" kind of a seven member band of musicians playing acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, keyboard and tight vocal harmonies. Their backckgrounds are varied but include southern gospel to heavy metal rock with years of combined experience. Their forte is contemporary Christian with a driving southern rock flavor. They enjoy inspired driving foot stomping, hand clapping, joy jumping praise but know how to enter into intimate hands raised in surrender worship as well.
They each come from very different backgrounds, but they all are ministers of Christ to the people. They currently attend the same local "church" but they are all called to be the the church wherever they are and where ever He puts them.  A band of believers who love to sing, praise and play making a joyously clamorous noise to The Lord!
