About RICK NIELSEN™

Things have not been the same since RICK NIELSEN™ brought his unique songwriting, guitar playing, and sense of fashion to the music scene in the mid-1970s.

From their modest Midwest roots, Rick and his Cheap Trick band members have grown into one of the most recognizable rock groups in the world, by sound, physical appearance, or logo – especially in Japan, where they first reached the top of the charts and superstar status.
