Richard started learning finger-style guitar from his father in England at age five. By age 11 he was performing on-stage with his ‘hero’ Chet Atkins at Her Majesty’s Theater in London, and amazing both the audience and Chet with his ability to flawlessly play Chet’s famous arrangements. By age 20 both Chet and Jerry Reed were calling Richard ‘their’ hero - and he has a guitar with that autographed inscription to prove it. Richard has since delved far beyond the folk-country stylings of his roots, and no matter what musical style he chooses to play, the artistry, imaginative interpretation, and technical mastery are evident. Richard has toured around the world, surprising audiences everywhere with his genius, showcasing a repertoire spanning an incredible range of musical styles from country, bluegrass, mainstream jazz, modern pop and rock, to classical guitar. He met his wife and soul-mate, acclaimed cellist Julie Adams, on a trip to America, and they have developed a musical synergy that is both impressive and highly entertaining. This concert will feature two musicians in their prime doing what they do best—sharing their musical vision with an audience. Don’t miss this one!

“The most amazing guy I know on the guitar. He can play anything I know, only better.” - Chet Atkins
