Richard "Rick" Kuncicky (pronounced Kun-SIS-kee) is a guitarist, composer, and arranger best known for his expressive solo fingerstyle guitar performances. Based in St. Augustine, Florida, and Hendersonville, North Carolina, he has built a reputation for transforming well-known standards and popular songs into intimate, richly textured instrumental pieces. His music draws from jazz, classical, swing, and folk traditions, creating a style that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Audiences often describe his performances as warm and inviting... more like a gathering around a fireside than a formal concert.
A self-taught musician, Kuncicky has been active in the St. Augustine music scene since the 1980s, performing under the name Rick Kyson in his early career. He later became a fixture at venues like the Cafe Alcazar, where he has showcased his instrumental artistry for well over 20 years. Today, Kuncicky is semi-retired but still continues to perform regularly in the St. Augustine, FL and Hendersonville, NC areas offering both solo instrumental sets and collaborative performances with other musical artists.
"When in St. Augustine, Florida you can still find me playing weekly at The Cafe Alcazar along with other venues. I also play guitar for a band called The Whitecaps with Joe Fitzgerald and Mark Evans."Mark Evans Webpage
"When in Hendersonville, North Carolina you can find me playing in the Brevard area at The Lucy Clark Gallery, Wine Down on Main and The Pavillion Restaurant & Corner Bar. I also play the Hendersonville Market and Biltmore Park Market (Asheville). Occasionaly I make it over to The Lured Market & Grill in Chimeny Rock. I am always open to suggestions for new places and faces. I also play guitar in a duo with Marc Brown." Marc Brown Music
