Rock Vocalist & Songwriter

Rick Stitch is a rock vocalist and songwriter whose solo music moves between guitar-driven hard rock, Americana and electronic rock. That range comes through in his releases, from “Stick Together” and “Shelter” to his collaboration with guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal on “LIV4EVR.”

From 2009 to 2011, Rick fronted Adler’s Appetite, the band led by original Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler. He wrote, recorded and toured with the group across North America, South America and Europe, at one point playing more than 50 U.S. shows in two months. Their single “Alive” premiered on The Howard Stern Show, and the band recorded “Fading” and “Stardog” with Cinderella drummer Fred Coury at his Los Angeles studio. At London’s Underworld, Rick joined Adler and Duff McKagan onstage to perform songs from Appetite for Destruction.

Rick also fronts and writes for Ladyjack and The Hotel Diablo. His work with former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke began during Ladyjack’s early recording sessions and continued when Clarke produced The Hotel Diablo’s The Return to Psycho, California. Don Jamieson featured the album as his Pick of the Week on VH1’s That Metal Show. Rick played the Sunset Strip Music Festival with all three bands across three editions.

Today, Rick continues to release music under his own name and write new material with Ladyjack and The Hotel Diablo. His solo writing draws on the raw intensity of Chris Cornell and the plainspoken storytelling of Chris Stapleton, whether he’s working with an acoustic guitar or building a song around synths and heavy guitars.
