Ricky the Rockstar
Performing on and around the Sunshine Coast over the past 15 years, Ricky the Rockstar (AKA: Adam Truscott) has become a household name along with being one of the most sought after performers in South East Queensland. Ricky can be seen performing in a variety of venues on and around the coast 5 nites a week, and with a repertoire Consisting of over 600 songs there isn’t much that this man can’t play. His repertoire as you will see in the song list attached covers an enormous variety of music from early 1920’s blues standards to current top 40 hits including material from artists like Vance Joy, Ed Sheeran, George Ezra, U2, The Beatles, Passenger, Van Morrison, Green Day, Tracey Chapman, Howlin Wolf, Pearl Jam, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Nickelback to name but a few. Ricky makes his constantly updated song lists available to the audience at every performance and consistently asks for their requests, working on the theory that “It’s a lot easier to please an audience when you’re playing material that they like”. Add to this impressive repertoire and the request lists, a unique sense of humour and a relaxed presentation where Ricky, makes everyone feel like they’re at home in their own lounge room and it’s easy to see why this larger than life performer is in so much demand.
