About Rick Hoffman

Five decades of making music — and still going strong.

I’ve been making music for over fifty years, and the fire hasn’t faded.

These days, I play bass and sing with Total Abandon, a Lopez Island–based rock band known for fun, funky energy and tight musicianship. Together, we’ve recorded two albums—Wreckless Volume 1 and Wreckless Volume 2—available on all major streaming platforms.

In addition to the band, I continue to write and perform as a solo artist. 

My solo work is more personal—sometimes stripped down, sometimes experimental—but always rooted in the same love for storytelling through sound. Whether on stage or in the studio, I’m still chasing the next great song.
