American blues vocalist and harmonica player, Rick Estrin was born in San Francisco in 1949. In 1973, he met guitarist Little Charlie Baty and together they formed the band Little Charlie And The Nightcats in 1976.
Estrin fronted this band for an impressive 30 years until Baty retired in 2008. Following Baty's departure, Estrin formed Rick Estrin And The Nightcats with the remaining band members and newly recruited Norwegian guitarist Kid Andersen.
With his soulful vocals and exceptional harmonica skills, Rick Estrin has made a significant impact on the blues music scene over the years. His passion for the genre shines through in every performance, making him a beloved artist among fans worldwide.

Back in 1971, a 23-year-old blues fan used his meagre savings to record and produce his favourite band. Following his heart, he quit his day job with Delmark Records and began promoting *Alligator* and his new record company full time.

Over 30 years later, that company, Alligator Records, is home to some of the world’s premier blues and roots rock talent and is regarded by fans and the media alike as the top contemporary blues record label in the world.

The first release from Alligator Records was *The Siegel-Schwall Band* (1971).
