Ursula Ricks Project

Ursula Ricks is a singer/songwriter and entertainer whose music grabs at the soul of her audience and wrings 'em dry. Her sound is lusty and compelling, driven by an innate rhythm that first called her to the blues. Compared to such greats as Etta James, Cocoa Taylor, Nina Simone, and Aretha Franklin, Ursula Ricks has a sound that not only speaks to the soul, but speaks for the soul as well.
