Multiple gold and platinum selling albums and numerous music industry awards including the prestigious APRA Song Of The Year award for his song “Heaven Knows” and both the APRA and Export Music Australia awards for his outstanding achievements abroad, are just some of his accolades.
In 2009 a move to the United States sparked not only new influences and a broader style for Price but also a return to his childhood musical roots. While there are still echoes of a pop artist, country rhythm and blues, meld beautifully with folk undertones to create the hybrid sounds of albums such as “The Water’s Edge”, “Tennessee Sky” and “Soulville”.

Price is also a well-respected Producer, helping other artists to refine their songs in the studio.

The album takes you on a journey of Rick's childhood days growing up in country Queensland, Australia to present day life in Nashville Tennessee.
“The voice of this soulful Australian has the power to silence to rooms and move hearts, as he belts out notes created by the God's themselves. Each word is delivered with such reassurance and understanding, while each note and chord goes out of it's way to invoke emotions within you”. - Mark Spencer
“I've been to many concerts but Rick's show was one of the best I've experienced. I was right up at the front, in poor Rick's face. I am embarrassed to admit that he brought me to tears and I was trying to be so subtle about how his storytelling and songs was affecting me. How great is his voice!” – Jen Seyderhalm 2CA Breakfast Co-Host
“The show itself was superb; remarkable musicianship, fabulous songs and some great stories. He is a supremely talented man and an absolute gentleman.” Michael O’Brien 2CCC
“Rick is a class act in every way.” – Jason Dasey 4BC
