About

hi friends, i’m richard. a little about me… so back when I was 15 and just learning guitar, a few albums found their way to me that changed my relationship with music. I started writing songs and dreaming about maybe one day writing an album of my own. fast forward 15 years, and over a decade playing in the band Walden with my best friends, I realized that dream I always had wasn't going to happen unless I made it happen. so, I went for it… I took all these songs I’d been working on my whole life - songs about childhood, grief, and heartbreak, songs that were so personal to me, and I started recording them in my room. and before I knew it, I had a whole album weaving together my entire life. it’s called “Cedar Forks” and its named after my neighborhood that i grew up in. that house was my home from birth up until a couple years ago when my parents sold it, and it was sacred to me. this album is about all of those formative moments and experiences while that house was in my life: the beautiful ones, the painful ones, and everything in between. it’s a coming of age story. it’s an album for anyone who has deep roots to their hometown. and in many ways, it’s my way of putting a bow on a chapter of my life. and now after working so hard for the past couple years, it’s finally yours. i hope you enjoy “Cedar Forks” and i just wanted to thank you all for sticking by me and being so supportive through this wild and beautiful journey -richard
