Richard plays solo and band performances at local events and venues. His band “liturgical autopsy” includes his 2 sons Jonathan and David as well as his Son-inLaw Jarrod Randall and has performed many local venues and been a part of the Magic City Blues Society events.

Born and raised in North Mississippi, the musical influences are obvious from the blue sound of “south ‘o town” to the blend of Memphis soul in “world gone crazy”. H. Richard sings about life and death and the struggle to live between the two.
