DRB News (8/9/10):
Come check out The Dave Richardson Band featuring Heather Twiss every Wednesday night at 8:30PM at Wicket's Pub (167 Onset Ave, Onset, MA). We are launching the new Wednesday Night Blues Jam and Open Mic so grab your instrument, voice and dancing shoes and come on down.
The Dave Richardson Band has created a special recipe for soulful, upbeat, funky music that draws on a base of authentic American Blues. The band can lay down subtle, soulful dance grooves, rip into a hot Texas Blues or venture into a jazzy improvisational jam at the drop of a hat. The consistent factors are incredible energy, a deep rhythmic pocket and maximum audience enjoyment. The band draws on the diversity of each member’s unique musical voice and style.
In his guitar playing, founder, Dave Richardson draws on a mixture of classic blues guitar influences including BB King, Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughn. When not cranking out blistering guitar solos, Dave locks in a soulful, funky rhythm with tight syncopated comping reflective of Dave‘s love of James Brown and The Meters. Dave has the honor of playing with some great local musicians.
If you go check out the DRB live you will likely find Bret Carlson laying down a fat groove on bass. Chris Santos lends his high energy, ultra funky skills on drums. Marcus Monteiro often soars above the mix on saxophone with a virtuosity and authenticity rarely heard with such finesse.
They say that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. This could not be more true for this band as each member adds to the natural chemistry that makes this band a perfect synthesis of soul, energy, and groove.
When not playing as The Dave Richardson Band, Dave lends his vocal and guitar skills to Splash of Blues for select performances in the Boston Area.
Dave can also be found playing acoustic blues, soul and original tunes with Clayton-Richardson, a collaboration with vocalist, bassist and song writer, Fred Clayton.
Dave can also be found teaming up with explosive vocalist, Heather Twiss (Blue Collar) for special all star performances.
