In The Name of Freedom Secrets To Success with Richie Onori

Many people would consider drumming for one of the most iconic bands of the 70s the pinnacle of a music career. But for Richie Onori, drummer for The Sweet (“Ballroom Blitz”, “Fox On The Run”), it is only the beginning.

Richie Onori got his first break when he was 16 playing with the group ? and the Mysterians (who had the hit song “96 Tears”). He then joined the group Satyr. With a cast of amazing musicians this band opened shows in Canada for Alice Cooper as well as Aerosmith.

Richie made his mark on the music scene as a world-class drummer, having played and recorded with a diverse cross-section of artists such as Keith Emerson, Richie Sambora, Louis Johnson, Ronnie James Dio, Paul Rodgers, Slash, and Steve Lukather before joining The Sweet.

Now, Richie is poised to release his own CD, entitled “Days Of Innocence”, a collection of songs imbued with influences of the classic California blues/rock scene that he grew up with in LA’s San Fernando Valley in the 60s and 70s. A prolific songwriter, Richie speaks from his heart and says what’s on his mind. As usual with Richie, it was soon evident that he would need more than one album to say what he wanted to say and he decided to release two CDs, giving himself room to explore both his emotional journeys (“Days of Innocence”) and his spirituality and social commentary (the upcoming “American Fighters”) within the frame of an infectiously grooving blues/rock sound, ably assisted by the talents of a roster of heavy hitters with whom he has played over the years.

After he received a vision over 20 years ago it etched in his soul a burning desire to deliver this Rock Prophecy that premiered in August at the most pivotol time in history "In the Name of Freedom". Tune in tap in turn on to learn how Dreams are possible! Click www.rockprophecylive.com
