ABOUT

I'm a rockabilly band leader, my band the Richie and the Blue Jean Rebels is just a year old, but we have played with some great musicians including John Hatton, the bass player of the Brian Setzer Orchestra. But I will play almost anything even though I have a rockabilly back ground. I already play lead guitar at the church I attend.
