Rick Fines brings Canadian blues to Bochum
On November 5, 2026, the choir rehearsal room of the Arts Center at Ruhr-University Bochum will transform into a concentrated resonance space for blues, folk, and Canadian roots music. Guitarist and singer Rick Fines invites you to an atmospheric concert evening, where storytelling songs, expressive guitar lines, and an immediate live atmosphere are the focus.
Between folk, blues, and Canadian expanses
Rick Fines combines warm-hearted blues with folk elements, juke-joint folk, and a raw, soulful voice. His music thrives on precise guitar work, personal storytelling, and a stage performance that creates closeness. In Bochum, he musically takes the audience on a journey through his Canadian homeland.
45 years of stage experience and more than 14 albums
The award-winning Canadian roots musician has been performing on stage for about 45 years and has released more than 14 albums. He first gained fame as a member of the group Jackson Delta, later working as a solo artist, in a trio, and collaborating with other greats of the Canadian folk and blues scene. His discography ranges from early Jackson Delta recordings to the solo album Solar Powered Too.
Expressive guitar meets strong stories
Fines focuses on an intense connection between vocals and guitar. Slide guitar, warm acoustic sounds, and a distinctive vocal growl characterize his sound. This creates not a distant concert setting, but an immediate concert experience: every melody carries a story, every pause builds suspense, and every guitar phrase serves as a musical glimpse into the vastness of North America.
