For more than two decades, Rick Souder has been crafting music straight from the heart. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist who plays entirely by ear, Rick blends elements of rock, blues, and worship to create songs that connect on a deeper level. At 48, his passion remains unwavering—not driven by fame or profit, but by a desire to touch lives through music.
“I just hope something I do might connect with someone,” Rick says.
That genuine intention shines through in his two latest releases, “New Dawn” and “October 6th,” both featuring the talented Ralph Eagle.
🎶 “New Dawn”
A song about renewal and fresh beginnings, “New Dawn” radiates optimism and spiritual energy. Rick’s melodic guitar and bass work blend beautifully with Ralph Eagle’s expressive guitar tones, creating a sound that’s both soothing and powerful. The track feels like watching the sunrise after a long night—hopeful, soulful, and alive.

🎸 “October 6th”
In contrast, “October 6th” carries a deeper, introspective weight. With its driving rock pulse and blues-inspired phrasing, the song explores time, memory, and life’s turning points. Ralph Eagle’s contribution brings a raw emotional edge that perfectly complements Rick’s heartfelt arrangement. Together, they create a timeless sound that lingers long after the last note fades.

🙏 Faith and Purpose
For Rick Souder, music is more than melody—it’s ministry. His faith runs through every chord and lyric. He openly shares that Yeshua is his Lord and Savior, a belief that grounds his music in purpose and peace. Whether through worship-inspired instrumentals or high-energy rock tracks, Rick’s goal is to inspire reflection, hope, and connection.
🌟 Collaboration and Craft
While Rick plays nearly everything on his recordings—bass, lead and rhythm guitar, vocals, and drum loops—his partnership with Ralph Eagle has elevated his sound even further. Their chemistry brings new life to each track, blending creative intuition with years of experience.
💬 A Musician with Heart
Rick isn’t chasing chart positions or trends. He’s building a body of work that’s honest, heartfelt, and faith-driven. With more songs in the works, from worship instrumentals to heavy rock and emotional ballads, his journey is far from over.
