Rickolus

**Rickolus** (real name Rick Colado) is a Jacksonville, Florida-based singer-songwriter known for his intimate indie folk tunes and lo-fi DIY charm. With a sound that blends raw, heartfelt lyrics with home-recorded experimental textures, he's been crafting quietly impactful music since the mid-2000s. His 2008 album *There Is No Parade* remains a fan favorite, showcasing his knack for turning personal reflections into relatable vignettes against a backdrop of acoustic grit and subtle psychedelic flourishes.

Over the years, Rickolus has built a catalog of releases like *Fishbowl Head* and *American Backyard*, often exploring themes of nostalgia, everyday struggles, and Southern life with poetic simplicity. He’s part of Jacksonville’s tight-knit indie scene, occasionally collaborating with acts like Iron Orchestra and Radical Face (another Florida project). While he keeps a low profile, his music feels like a late-night conversation with an old friend—unpolished, genuine, and lingering long after the last note fades.
