Rick McCue hails from Fox Harbour. At nine years old his mother bought him a Sears guitar, and like every kid growing up by the sea, he was drawn to the boats, learning his first song, The Wild Wood Flower from a fisherman. He has been playing, performing and writing ever since.

Always true to his Celtic roots, Rick has also explored other genres of music - Country, Bluegrass, R&B - while honing his storytelling abilities. He has also formed his own independent publishing company that provides songs to artists with national and international album releases.
