Music Production & Promotion (Paul Bolton & Ric Lee)
Paul Bolton started producing shows (Music & Theatre) in 2011 when I founded/owned the OB Playhouse aka (Electric Ladyland/Electric Playground). We had everything from A-Z in there including the Electric Music Studios (EMS) Kids Rock School, Comedy, Burlesque shows, Circus, Rock & Metal shows, Theatre, Yoga etc etc. Since I sold my Salon (The Electric Chair Salon) in 2016 what I miss is producing music shows. Everything from the initial designing of the show poster to finding acts for the event. Ric & I started doing shows at Winston’s in Feb 2018 (OB Mardi Gras). Paul will also be producing his “Sunday Services” Metal shows which will debut in Jan 2020. We also offer backlines complete with a professional Ludwig drum set/Paiste cymbals & GK Bass amp.
My co-partner Ric Lee studied music from the age of 8 in San Diego, CA, through his years at Coronado High School. Ranging from Orchestra, Symphonic and Jazz in his award-winning High School Band. After high school, Ric continued his studies at El Camino College in Los Angeles, CA then enrolled in Jazz Band Studies at San Diego City College.
Beginning in 1980, Ric worked as a pit drummer for the Lamb’s Players Theater, performing rock musicals such as Godspell, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and the hit musical “Boomers” for four seasons straight. In 1996 he started his own Zydeco Band, The Bayou Brothers who just celebrated 23 years as a working band. Ric is also a proud founding member of San Diego’s BITS Program (Blues in the Schools), bringing blues music into inner-city schools in San Diego throughout the school year. And since 2000, Ric has taught drums for the “Summer Blues Camp” for one week each year for BLUSD (Blues Lovers United of San Diego). Ric is a seasoned musician and currently sponsored by Bosphorus Cymbals.
