Rick Carter’s Guitar Pull returns

By Molly Folse

If you say something\’92s been missing recently from Birmingham\’92s music scene, then you would be 100 percent correct. Last year, Birmingham musician Rick Carter, of the bands Telluride, Rollin\’92 in the Hay and Frankie Velvet and the Mighty Veltones, put his Monday Night Guitar Pull on hiatus after 11 years of hosting the open mic jam sessions for crooners, bluesers, rockers, balladeers, pickers, strummers, singer-songwriters and the like at Oasis in Lakeview.

But Rick now says he\’92s ready to get back to the every-Monday-night grind – this time around at WorkPlay. Rick Carter\’92s Guitar Pull returns Monday, June 2 with special appearances from Guitar Pull and American Idol alumni Bo Bice and Taylor Hicks. Join Rick and the local boys done good for an evening of impromptu performances by some of the Magic City\’92s undiscovered musical talent. Things get started at 8 p.m. and there\’92s no cover, but keep in mind that the WorkPlay bar is for ages 21 and older. For more information, call 879-4773 or visit www.workplay.com.
