Over 40 years of plying his trade as a legendary songwriter, guitarist and rock star, CHEAP TRICK's mercurial clown prince of rock n' roll, Rick Nielsen, has created a unique, hook-laden and sticky sound that has fanned the flames of fan love and influenced generations of successful musicians. Rick is a fan's dream come true and a musician's musician. And, if you know anything at all about Rick Nielsen, you know he doesn't just have skeletons in his closets; he's got guitars. Lots and lots of guitars.



Rick wears his love of guitars - playing them, buying them, owning them, cherishing them, designing them and talking about them - right out there on his sleeve where he wears his heart. And that, good friends, is what the Rick's Picks: Rick Nielsen's Lifelong Affair With Guitars & Music is all about: Guitars as art. Guitars as tools for making rock n' roll. Rick's life on the road and at home. It's about the friendships he forged and the songs he's written and played. Rick’s Picks is a rich visual and audio experience that visitors won't soon forget. Enhanced by a star-studded gala concert, it’s also a partnership opportunity that people like you are really going to want to be associated with.

Together, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen and Burpee Museum of Natural History have created a one-of-a-kind exhibit that tells the story of Rick's passions for guitars, music and Rock & Roll. Unlike any museum exhibit they have ever seen before, and through a state-of-the-art multimedia experience, visitors step into the mind of one of rock n' roll's legends.

The exhibit begins on August 10th at the Burpee Museum of Natural History in Cheap Trick's hometown of Rockford, Illinois
