Ricky Lamb is an American Tropical Rock (Trop Rock) singer-songwriter, solo recording artist, and frontman based out of Springfield, Missouri. Known for his beach-vibe music heavily inspired by Jimmy Buffett, Lamb regularly performs around 150 shows across the country every year.

Early Life and Military Service

• Roots: Grew up in Missouri and graduated from Willard High School in 1977.
• Navy Veteran: Enlisted in the U.S. Navy immediately after high school, spending 10 years aboard the ammunition ship USS Butte (AE-27). His international travels and “tales of the sea” from his time in the Navy heavily influence his songwriting.
• Pre-Music Career: After his service, he studied at Missouri State University and worked for City Utilities of Springfield at the James River Power Station from 1987 until retiring in 2014 to focus on music full-time. [1, 2]

• Prior Groups: He previously fronted the Cruize Control Band (2006–2014) and the Nixa City Limits Band (2003–2006).
