Rick  Crenshaw - Bass Guitar - Vocals

Rick is considered to be the top bass guitarist in the industry. 

With many years of experience in the music industry, Rick is a seasoned pro.
It was in his early teens that he discovered a love for music that would lead him into a long and successful career with his own band and as a session musician.

His early influences include Elvis Presley, Buck Owens, Ray Price, Chuck Berry, and the Beatles. And of course his greatest influence as a musician, Jerry Scheff. Ricks' amazing talent on the bass guitar adds authenticity in achieving that true TCB sound.  His strong lead and harmony vocals, along with a great smile and attitude (just like brother John) are a great addition to the EAS family.

One of the highlights in Rick's career came in 2004 when he met his mentor Jerry Scheff and was honored when Jerry handed over his bass guitar and let Rick play a few licks.

Rick and his wife Donita live in Genoa IL, and have two grown children, Shianna and Dallas. When not on the road with ESA, Rick and Donita can be found on most Sunday mornings at their local church playing and singing the gospel music they love so much.

PICTURES OF RICK (updated monthly)

(due to the fact that Rick & Donita joined the band only a few short months ago, there are few pictures of them. A strong effort will be made to obtain many more pictures in 2008)
