Rock Vocalist | Songwriter | International Touring Artist

Rick Stitch is a rock vocalist, songwriter and recording artist whose music bridges hard rock, acoustic Americana and modern electronic influences. With a career spanning international touring, major festival appearances and collaborations with some of rock music's most respected musicians, Stitch has built a reputation for powerful vocals, emotionally driven songwriting and an unmistakable passion for great songs.

Best known for fronting Steven Adler's Adler's Appetite, featuring the original Guns N' Roses drummer, Stitch served as the band's lead vocalist from 2009 to 2011, writing, recording and touring throughout North America, South America and Europe, including more than 50 performances across the United States in just two months.

During his tenure, Adler's Appetite released the original single "Alive," which premiered on The Howard Stern Show, followed by "Fading" and "Stardog," recorded with Fred Coury of Cinderella at his Los Angeles studio. As the band's European tour came to a close, Stitch joined Steven Adler and Duff McKagan onstage at London's legendary Underworld for a performance of classic Appetite for Destruction material.

Throughout his career, Stitch has performed and recorded with Steven Adler (Guns N' Roses), performed alongside Duff McKagan and Gilby Clarke (Guns N' Roses), and recorded with former Guns N' Roses guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal. His collaborations also include Chip Z'Nuff (Enuff Z'Nuff), Alex Grossi (Quiet Riot), Justin Smolian (Dirty Honey), Jesse Labovitz (Headstones), and singer, guitarist and mixing engineer Clifton David Broadbridge (Roger Waters Legacy), alongside musicians associated with The Offspring, Warrant, MAGIC! and W.A.S.P.

As lead vocalist and songwriter for Ladyjack and The Hotel Diablo, Stitch has continued to create original music rooted in the Los Angeles rock scene. Early Ladyjack recording sessions at Gilby Clarke's studio began a creative relationship spanning multiple projects. Stitch later reunited with Clarke to record The Hotel Diablo's The Return to Psycho, California, produced by the former Guns N' Roses guitarist. The album received distribution through EOne and national television exposure when Don Jamieson featured it as his Pick of the Week on VH1's That Metal Show.

A fixture of the Sunset Strip music scene, Stitch made three appearances at Hollywood's Sunset Strip Music Festivals, fronting Ladyjack, Adler's Appetite and The Hotel Diablo across separate festival editions featuring artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Korn, Chris Cornell, The Smashing Pumpkins, Slash and The Offspring. His festival history also includes Bridgeview MusicFest, on a bill featuring Lita Ford and Warrant, and Taste of Minnesota, on a lineup featuring Bret Michaels of Poison.

Today, Stitch continues to write, record and release original music under his own name while creating new material with Ladyjack and The Hotel Diablo. Whether fronting a band, performing solo or working in the studio, his powerful voice and honest songwriting remain at the center of everything he does.

Inspired by artists such as Chris Cornell and Chris Stapleton, Stitch continues to explore the space between classic hard rock, alternative music, Americana and modern electronic sounds, driven by authenticity, emotional connection and a lifelong dedication to music.
