RICK QUISOL - STROLLING TROUBADOR

RICK QUISOL - the Dimestore Dandy. Rick Quisol has been known around the Bay Area for decades as a vintage collector, drummer, and the bandleader of Atomic Cocktail.
When beginning his solo act, he adopted the stage name,The Dimestore Dandy, a title befitting his newfound persona as a Jazz-era troubadour--outfitted in fancy but well-worn vintage duds, a straw boater and a smile, happy to please anyone with a song.

His repertoire came to focus on obscure and classic songs from the heyday of Tin Pan Alley songwriters--the1920’-30’s. To his delight, these old musical gems got a second life being performed for modern day audiences. He discovered there were other people out there who also enjoyed hearing something unusually cheerful, peppy and optimistic.
