Meet The Band Meet The Band Meet The Band



Rick Buck - Guitars & Drums
Rick started his musical career by, "stealing my dad's guitar at age nine," and he's been stealing the attention of country music lovers ever since. Rick is a powerful musical force on both guitar and drums. He's opened for Reba McEntire, George Jones, Diamond Rio, Willie Nelson, Billy Ray Cyrus and many others. As young as age 15 he opened for Merle Haggard and his early glimpses of the music industry made a huge impression. His approach to life is simple. "Always treat everyone around you the way you want to be treated yourself. Take the time to talk to people. And always remember - the glass is half full, not half empty."

"You can take a great song and play it on a simple acoustic guitar in your kitchen, and it's still a great song. In any genre…the song is the song is the song…"

Alison Rupert

Alison Rupert - Lead Vocals, Keyboards & Guitar
By the young age of four, Alison was already exhibiting her intense joy for music and song. She grew up singing at home and in her father's church, but it wasn't until her years in college that she joined forces - musically and romantically - with Richard. From their first meeting the two began forging the partnership that has made Alison's childhood dreams become a reality, and brought her special musical talent to the world. She's living out her dreams with her co-performing husband and entertaining at concerts and events across the country. Their musical partnership has led to opening for national recording artists Pam Tillis, Mark Wills, Marty Hagard, Jesse Hunter, Lionel Cartwright, Neal McCoy and many others. Fluent on keyboards and guitar, Alison uses her distinctive vocal interpretations to create the sensitive lead and voice harmonies that help make up the very distinctive fabric of The Front Porch Country Band.
Richard Rupert -Acoustic & Electric Lead Guitars
A talented prodigy on numerous musical instruments, Richard has formally studied music since childhood. But it was an old acoustic guitar he uncovered in his family's attic as a teenager that inspired him the most, and helped his true musical talents to begin to shine. A writer of countless original songs, he's won national songwriting awards from The American Song Festival and Billboard Song Contests. As a full-time touring musician in his young twenties, he began remodeling his 125-year-old barn, ultimately transforming it into an elaborate professional recording studio. Today, he's master of the art of sound imagery and audio engineering. Richard provides much of the precision technical and creative control for Front Porch projects. But onstage it's his dazzling mastery of both acoustic and electric guitar that grabs and keeps country music fans' attention.
