Most of my life has been spent on the salt waters of the world. I was born close to Charleston harbor, put 4 years in the  Coast Guard, commercial fished for 3 years was a tugboat captain for 3 years, and ended up owning a Marine construction company. A lot of my music reflects that. I first played the Florabama in 1979 and have returned year after year. Like many, music is my soul food !!!!

Richard comes from the Gulf Coast with swampy country rock songs co-written with hundreds of Nashville and international writers.  With many styles to entertain a variety of audiences his guitar and harmonica melodies drive the tunes. 2023  was great with a half dozen releases by co-writer artists and a dozen new keeper songs.  Richard mixes his Mississippi roots with his New Orleans genes and cooks that up with some Texas country. From that, Americana tunes spring forth. He still enjoys writer's rounds in Nashville and co-writes with dozens of artist/writers.

Several US and Canadian releases by independent artists this year and even a few videos out. You will find humor, truth and interesting characters delivered with decades of guitar licks and killer harmonica runs.
