Rick Hornyak: Home
Rick Hornyak's music is honest and pure. His unique and compelling voice attracts listeners from a wide variety of genres. Whatever type of music you love, one of Rick's songs is waiting for you to listen.
It's called Austin Rock. If you want to hear what it sounds like, just listen to Rick Hornyak, a Texas songwriter that kicks ass then kisses and makes up. Hornyak knows how to hold a crowd and move them at the same time. When playing live, Hornyak is a spontaneous force, like a freight train one moment and a hobo's lullaby the next. With a great sound and live show Hornyak's band is fast on the rise.

Destinations & Angry Love Songs includes songs infusing folk & Texas Country with traditional American rock and creating a sound our parents listened to, we listen to, and we know that our kids will listen to.

Hornyak threads bittersweet lyrics through strong, warm melodies. The result: a true marriage between classic rock and Texas country that resonates with all audiences.

I recently obtained a copy of Rick Hornyak's EP. As a music lover I could not be more satisfied with this EP. These heartfelt toe tapping songs with impressive instrumentation and simplistic remember able lyrics left me speechless. From the ramblin' man's tale in "Ladies". The great love songs such as "Someday" and "Miss California". This EP is a full play. As a Podcaster it is hard to classify and fits well in any play list. Rick's songs on the EP are aggressive enough to be Rock and twangy enough to easily fit into the Country genre. What does that make it then? Two words "JUST GREAT" ~ CBROCKER, The CBROCKER SHOW
