J.R.C.Richardson


Life has had many corners for Mr Richardson, and his music reflects that. He moves from pop to neo-classical to showtune to downright obscure. Never one to turn away a melody, his craft is one that follows many directions. Arguably this is true prog - a melting pot for music: get whatever is to hand, chuck it in, and see what comes out. Think of Family and Stackridge, rather than Yes and King Crimson. JRCR hails originally from the south-east of England, and after many tribulations lives as an ex-pat Englishman in west Wales. Musically, his roots are diverse - raised listening to Salvation Army bands, music was always readily at hand. He travelled new romantic punk (via Adam and the Ants) and early 80s chart music, until discovering the progressive/art rock of Genesis, King Crimson and others. '...was it for this?' is his debut album, which presents literate, insightful and emotional music for our times; taking in almost as many styles are there are tracks, giving a great richness and variety. Writing on guitar and keys, and singing both in and out of his comfort-zone, J.R.C.Richardson brings more to the table than most. Jeremy is bassist (acoustic/12 string/vocals) with The John Hackett Band. Read more on Last.fm.
