Ricki Erik Electrifies NY Wine & Music Fest and Previews New Album 'Miami Nights'

CARMEL, N.Y. - Aug. 30, 2026 - PRLog -- CARMEL, N.Y. — Recording Academy member, singer, songwriter, musician and record producer Ricki Erik, President of Realm Music Group, delivered an energetic performance at the 15th Annual Putnam County Wine & Music Fest on August 23 at Putnam County Veterans Memorial Park in Carmel, New York.

Hosted by Lauren Drummond with DJ Sagi of Reggae Vybes serving as MC, Sunday's lineup also featured Grateful Yours, Ras Droppa and Eaay Skankin Band, and Simone G.

Erik gave the New York audience an early preview of his forthcoming late-2026 album, performing new songs "Miami Nights" and "Excited."

He also brought Latin/pop energy to the stage with his GRAMMY-considered single "Como Te Llamas," showcasing the distinctive voice and versatility that have become signatures of his performances.

AN EMOTIONAL FESTIVAL MOMENT

One of the afternoon's standout moments came when Erik slowed things down with "Can't Get Enough (The Wedding Song)."

Against the energy of an outdoor festival, the romantic ballad created an intimate moment as the crowd became captivated by Erik's emotional performance.

"There is nothing better than watching people connect with a song right in front of you," Erik said. "I love the big energetic moments, but I also love when everything gets quiet and a song reaches people emotionally."

With more than four decades in music, Erik has developed a career encompassing performing, songwriting, musicianship and record production.

As President of independent music company Realm Music Group, Erik continues to perform while writing, recording and producing original music.
