 BIOGRAPHY 

Richard “Dicky James” Wagster was born in 1956 in Gary, IN and raised in Calumet City, IL.

As a boy Dicky watched his older brother, Bear, play guitar and immediately fell in love. At age 12 he got his first guitar, a Stella acoustic, and began learning by ear from whatever blues and Motown records he could pick up. Around age 18 he began performing in clubs from coast to coast and opening for numerous major recording artists.

Dick has shared the stage with such blues greats as Koko Taylor, Rod Piazza, Big Daddy Kinsey, and Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows. In 1994 he relocated to the Wabash Valley where, in 2008, he and rest of the boys formed Dicky James and the Blue Flames.
