Richard March CD Release Concert

Knowing Richard personally for many years he has become one of my favorite singer song writers any where.  A teacher by profession,  a singer by training and a humanitarian by choice.   Richard writes in that prolific style similar to Jason Isbell, Jackson Brown, John Prine and Bob Dylan.  The stories he weaves are honest and believable and the melodies well thought out.  Richard will bring to the stage his long time bass player Tyler Rangle and after twenty plus years of harmony singing blends voices as only skilled craftpersons can do.  Baked up by Steve Randall on guitar, Dave Dussen organ, piano and voice, Larry Schiavone & Charlie Serrano  drums.  An A plus team for sure.  Richard is one of Sacramento's treasures and to hear him in a concert setting at The Side Door is a perfect way to experience his extraordinary singing and music talents

John Green "The Side Door"

As a songwriter/storyteller, March is a modern day throwback to the melodic, progressive country music stars of several decades ago when folks like Mickey Newbury, Kris Kristofferson and Glen Campbell were regularly heard on radio and seen on evening television. March's live performance skills have garnered him opening positions for Johnny Cash's legendary backing band the Tennessee Three, folk icon Ramblin' Jack Elliott, the popular Steve Forbert, bluesmen Nick Gravenites and John Hammond, Straycat Lee Rocker and western soul cult heroes the Hacienda Brothers.

Richard is a Sacramento Area Music Award (SAMMIE) winner for Outstanding Male Vocalist, received a Best of Sacramento award from Sacramento Magazine for best local Americana artist, and was awarded Best Locally Produced Album in the Sacramento News and Review's 2007 "Best of" issue. Richard can be heard on NPR's Blue Dog Jams and has been heard on Air America as well as other various outlets in California and Oregon, has made several local television appearances, and is considered to be at the forefront of the Americana scene in the Sacramento area.
