R-N-R – When Rick Braun and Richard Elliot decided to start ARTizen Music Group it was a pretty fair bet that collaboration would be on the boards. After all, Rick’s best-selling release to date is his collaboration with Boney James (Shake It Up). Duet albums from Bob James & David Sanborn, Lee Ritenour & Dave Grusin, George Benson & Earl Klugh are among the top-sellers of this (or any) genre. Richard had toured with Rick numerous times yet hadn’t a real studio long-player to share credits with. Nonetheless, for these two stars it had to be perfect.

Almost three years later and over half a dozen releases on their label that time had come. The planets aligned and they began writing and recording their own record together.

They performed at our weekend of jazz – both of these musicians are very talented, and have played with so many people over the years. Richard Elliot was in Tower of Power for 5 years, and his first gig was with Natalie Cole and the Pointer Sisters when he was still in High School. Rick Braun was in the band War – Rick went to the Eastman school of music – these guys are really amazing and a lot of fun!. they put on an unforgettable show, and now here they are, Rick Braun and Richard Elliot or also known as R-N-R.
