Blues, boogie woogie, ballads and classic New Orleans jazz and R&B all come from the hands and heart of Cincinnati, Ohio pianist RICKY NYE. Inducted into the International Boogie Woogie Hall Of Fame in 2013, Ricky has been the recipient of numerous awards given by CityBeat Magazine and The Cincinnati Enquirer throughout the years, and was the driving force behind the annual BLUES & BOOGIE PIANO SUMMIT held in Northern Kentucky from 1999-2017. Ricky regularly performs his infectious blend of American roots music at concerts and clubs throughout the U.S., and has maintained a career in Europe and the U.K. for over twenty years.

“Known for its rollicking, foot-stomping jubilance, the boogie-woogie sound erupted from the American South during the late 1920s. This piano-centric subgenre of the jazz tradition drew its structural elements from the blues and spirituals, but introduced an intoxicating rhythmic complexity that inspired generations of young dancers. Ricky Nye is one of the nation’s leading players and preservationists of boogie-woogie, stunning audiences with unmatched authenticity, virtuosic speed and playful arrangements”- Vail Jazz
