JR Richardsons Bio

Bio For JR Richardson
JR Richardson got his first 6-string guitar around 8 or 9 years old. His grand father taught him his first basic open chords. Proudly watching (and laughing) thru his struggles. Then he met up with some of the neighborhood guys, which were jamming, and singing in the basements. He watched, jammed, and learned the Rock n Roll power chords from his friends. There he developed his style, and learned how to sing and play, at the same time.
There were a lot of influences in JR's life. Some of which go back as far as, Steppinwolf, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, just to name a few. It's cool having a big brother to introduce you to the early Rock music, said JR.
After many, many, mind numbing experiences with the basement and garage bands, it was time for JR to move on to bigger and better things. I put myself on the market looking for a working band, I wanted to be playing the big clubs, he said. After playing and singing in several working bands in St Louis, he met someone else that had the same ideas as he does, Rick Heim. JR joined Rick's band RAZZ, and played the local circuit around the St. Louis area with them, for a few years. Together they achieved a few good gigs as opening acts for such bands as, Billy Thourpe from Australia, and The Michael Stanley Group.
As RAZZ ended, JR and Rick ended up being the best of friends, and stayed together working on originals. Doing nothing more than playing in a barn in Licking Missouri. Never really thinking about playing any clubs again. Writing and having fun was at the head of the list, said JR. We liked sitting back, and drinking our beer, and playing for our friends that came over to the barn to party, he said. We would have so much fun banging on the guitars, and partying in the barn, our friends dubbed us, 2 Drunks and A Guitar!
As chance would have it, their friends liked their songs so much they would keep saying, "Why don't you guys record these songs, their great everyone would really like this stuff"!
JR Richardson, together with Rick Heim, finally broke down and recorded some of their music and now is offering it to everyone else to enjoy.
JR just said, "Just watch out for 2 Drunks and a Guitar falling your way"!
