'Run to the Roadhouse' a CD by Cavender worth hearing
If samples mean anything, Rick Cavender has a winner in this CD, Run to the Roadhouse. The songs and music are dynamite. Let me share Rick's letter with you: "We just finished a six month long project at BGM Studios with Bill and Debbie Green. What a wonderful experience it was to work with such fine people.

"Musicians include Bobby Flores on guitar, fiddle and vocals, Randy Reinhardt on keyboards, Alan Chapman, bass, Al Gomez Jr. with Rene Saenz and Jim Waller on horns. Jerod Green plays drums. My band is featured on Down In Birmingham ‚Paul McLaughlin on guitar, Pete Williams on bass and Joe Grist on drums. Don Forres also sings with us.

"If people are interested in a copy please e-mail inquires to me at rick@rickcavenderband.com. Thanks, Rick, for the information. The CD is awesome.

Special Event Review

"Rick Cavender's band is local (San Antonio), but so good you'll wonder why they're not international. He specializes in country and western but does one of the best impersonations of Elvis Presley I've seen. What I appreciate the most about him is that he is completely dependable and is so very sensitive to his audiences reactions that they'd keep him there all night if possible."

--Beeper Smith, CMP, Convention Coordinators, San Antonio

from If You Ask Me edited by Blair Potter in answer to "Tell us about the best entertainment you've hired in the past year."

Published in the The Meeting Professional - April 2001

Bill Thorton, Mayor of San Antonio

"You were sensational, and in my book simply can't be topped. Thank you for sending our convention off in top fashion"
Marrietta McCain
President, Independent Insurance Agents of Texas Convention, 1994


"You and Your Band were instrumental in the overall success of The Cattle Barons Gala which raised a record $316,000 for the American Cancer Society. Get ready for your phone to start ringing. George Strait has agreed to perform for next year's gala and we would like for you to perform if your schedule will permit."
Cliff Douglas
Chairman, Cattle Barons Galas
1991, 1992, 1993, 1994


"Your personal warmth and magnetic personality heated up a cold evening and really got things going at the "Zoobilation Gala's Night Of The Cajun Moon. All I can say is, move over George Strait, here comes Rick Cavender."
Jeanie Seawald
Chairperson, Zoobilation Ball To Benefit San Antonio Zoo


"Rick Cavender and his band have created almost as much for The Cavender Name as his family's car business."
Susan Yerkes
Columnist, San Antonio Express-News


"Many thanks for helping to make our 50th reunion such a memorable one. You and your bans are wonderful entertainers and inspire joy – and movement – even in these old bones! We had a ball dancing to your music. You certainly did a lot to help make it such a fun time."

"Another great performance at the “Night at the AlaMowtown” gala!! You helped make the event a huge success. The gift of your time and talent is deeply appreciated by the staff and Board of Directors of the Ella Austin Community Center and by the people they serve. Thank you again for your participation and for going that extra mile."
Mary R. Alston
Co-Chair “Night at AlaMowtown” Committee


"Well the dust has settled, some sleep has been recovered, the bills are paid and although I have said thank you a couple of times I had to take another moment to tell you how great your performance was and how much the RYLA kids enjoyed it. It was neat seeing this age kid, not even born when the music was around, reacting the way they did and dancing in the aisles. THANK YOU and your group for supporting RYLA and we look forward to your being with us for next year’s conference. Thanks again for your Rotary spirit."
Ron Greenberg
District 5840 RYLA Chairman


"We write to thank you for the magnificent work and support you and the band gave to make the First Annual 100 Club Gala possible and successful. Your great energy and super choice of music really touched so many and worked healing to all of us in a very troubled time. The Gala was a great success and raised over $20,000 for the widows and children of fallen firefighters and peace officers. We hope you and the band will take great satisfaction in knowing you had a great part in making it so."
Ann-Lynn Perkins
Gala Chair

Clifford S. Walker
