Ricky Schmidt has been a busy man.  On top of being a member of the bands Western Settings & Hey, Chels!, he managed has officially entered the world of solo artist with a new album, Palm Trees, that was released in 2020. The album is certainly much different than the aforementioned bands, blending a bit more garage-pop, surf and noise elements into the fold.  

As is discussed in our episode, Ricky found this to not only be a way to use his newly found extra time to it's fullest, but also gave him an opportunity to really flex his artistic muscles a bit and explore new ground.    

Ricky moved around a lot growing up, but settled in San Diego, and has lived and worked there for many years now.  A staple in the local music scene, he is a staunch champion of his peers during this episode gives shout outs to many of them along the way.
