I am a singer/songwriter/performing artist on a local stage in the Dallas/Fort Worth area every weekend. My goal here is to find those that will fall in love with my music and perhaps allow it to touch them in a way that will have meaning in their life. I'm also committed to helping others achieve their goals and dreams even if it's only to be their cheerleader. Since talent is not always the key to success as an artist and being in the right place at the right time is, my hope is that influence and affluence will find me, love me, and invest in my dreams, not to their own detriment but to their own successful business goals. My strength is in my ability to move an audience with charismatic stage presence and a unique versatility of both genre and artist selection. Blessings to all music lovers that find this page! RR

It's Never Too Late to Dream!

Originally, from Southern California with Kentucky Hillbilly roots, this "BlackSheep" has been in and around music my entire life. Not supported by family, with the exception of the musically endowed hillbilly side 2,000 miles away, the inward struggles of what is expected, and what is dreamed of clashed inside of me for years. With the idea of regret haunting me as the years passed, it became clear..."It's Now or Never", and with credit cards cut up and $500 cash, he loaded his Ford Excursion with all his musical equipment and one suitcase of clothes and headed east, destination unknown.

An immediate flood of inspirational lyrics and composition started pouring in out on that long highway with the moon full, large and sitting on the east end of I-10. Today I'm still "Following the Moon", writing and composing musical stories of my life and the lives of those special people I have met along the way.

My goal is to inspire, connect, and relate to a vast audience of friends that have been there to love and support me along the journey and to touch generations with the same heartfelt stories long after I'm gone. The greatest joy of my life, if I am so blessed, will be to hear my songs on the radio and to watch as the crowd in front of me takes over the lyrics and sings my song as I am overwhelmed with tears of joy on that big stage! Being raised a humble and grateful man, pouring out my heart and soul through my music and stories is what you will get every time you get to experience "Rick Richards"!

"Without music there is no passion!"

"Without failure there is no success!"

"Without risk there is no gain!"

"Without Faith there is no vision!"

"Without vision there is no hope!"

"Without Hope there is no life left!"

"Without a dream there is nothing to strive for!"

Interesting to contemplate that the fate of any artist lies solely in the hands of those they meet, that take the time to hear the inspired and emotionally scored stories, and then decide if they like them, not just the music, but the artist as well. Understanding that, success in the music business has not so much to do with pure talent as it does with the ability to passionately connect with the listener through the music on some level. Being in the right place at the right time and finding that ONE connection, that ONE person with influence and affluence, that is WILLING to RISK (see above) because they BELIEVE in that artist, is the "Dream Come True" me! This is a formal petition, in search of that door of opportunity for those I to find such a person. Spread the word if you are so moved to support my quest. I am truly blessed that you are here and our hope is that you will find some little piece of your own dream here! May God Bless you Richly! RR
