Rich is a singer songwriter from southern PA. His influences for songwriting are rather eclectic but center around modern country, folk and southern rock.
Son of an opera singer, Rich has been immersed in music since birth. He started in the local Carroll County theater "September Song Productions" singing in the chorus in different productions. He also performed as a child in the Carroll County Childrens Chorus (northern Maryland). Rich played trumpet throughout school & began to write songs on piano in middle school. Rich got serious about guitar in 1991 and has publicly performed ever since. He has played in venues in Willingen Germany, North Yorkshire & the Midlands of England, and the North East of the United States. Having continued to write through the years, in 2005 Rich found Nashville Songwriters Association International and decided to dedicate himself to honing the craft.

Hey Rich: Just dropping by to say Hi!! I met your coworker & songwriter friend Donna. She's an awesome person. It's a small world. I had just heard your song that won the 2009 Song Showdown in Pittsburgh & then met her. I received Honorable Mention for my song in that contest. If you'd ever like to cowrite & teach me how to get the winning song...lol...I'd love it!!!!! Best of Luck to you, your songs are just awesome! Take care & stay safe. Sincerely, Carla
