Described as 'rock’n the extreme folk', the song is a rallying cry for over-worked and lorded-over ordinary citizens, over-burdened by the daily worries and stresses
of early 21st century life looming over a collective survival. 'Zero Emission Musician' Rick Denzien’s zeal drives an acoustic guitar and vocal style, like an early protest era anthem, iconic for this moment in history. CMJ charting artist top 200 airplay with Exit 21 CD.

Catchy tune! Rick Denzien writes a very pertinent song that is very “in” with the times right now. The melody and vocals are reminiscent of Peter Gabriel. ‘Go Out and Play’s strong hook will be playing in your head over and over. Five thumbs up!

-K.M. Walton, author of Cracked, Empty, Ultimatum, and the upcoming music-focused anthology Behind the Song
"Rock and Folk artist Rick Denzien jostles his guitar strings in hopes to wake up the rebellious inner voice that wants you to quit your nine to five and "Go Out And Play".
Political Party Quotes:
“As ‘Go Out and Play’ starts, the ambient keyboard is striking. When the vocals kick in, the messages of freedom are unquestionably inspiring. The hook is killer and the song has a great vibe with slammin’ guitar solo. This song makes you want to play it again!”
- Brian Ostrander, MONTCO Green Party Chairman
Zero Emission Musician Quotes:
“’Go Out and Play’ is a call to all artists to do their craft, but the deeper meaning… have your voice heard, not be stifled and controlled by those that would keep us down and RESIST them. It made me feel like I need to bust out, do my thing, shed the fear of conspiracy and just live my life.”
- Michael Craner Michael – Founder -
BIO
From the deep, cold and dark of Buffalo, NY comes an artist - Rick Denzien. In his own words: ''Fate is sometimes like being stuck behind a snow plow on the thruway, in the middle of a raging blizzard, on black ice covered by pack snow whilst driving at 65 mph… never being able to see more than 20 feet ahead, ignoring basic physics. Idiotic blind faith, stupid, an accident waiting to happen… but in Western New York we called it Winter driving – fate.'
'Driving blind can be the greatest teacher as it takes us to new, raw un-processed edges - like when the blade of the steel plow sparks against the frozen road, that’s where we can find salvation or, crazed, we smash into the ass end of a truck, driven by an over worked, underpaid NY-DOT worker.
