Shannon Richardson Band

(SRB)

..

"Beautiful" by definition means having qualities that delight the senses, excellent, wonderful and the bands personal favorite, highly enjoyable. As much as the definition of the word "beautiful" may mean it takes on a whole new shape and form for this young Chicago band. They have a new EP and the single is called nothing less than "Beautiful Life Is". Much like the definition of the word, the songs are heartfelt, catchy, hip, erie eclectic and rockin. The band is currently composed of four members all hailing from Chicago IL. Shannon Richardson (Vocals & Guitars) Chris McGowan (Bass & Bck up vocals) John Park (Drums) Mark Watland (Percussions). Currently the band is recording and making noise in the Chicago music scene, gainig more fans, and momentum quickly. This band comes together from a lot of various stylings and backgrounds while still managing to hold so much in common. Mainly they all learned music very young and know they have to work hard to get where they want to go. With a blue collor attitude and exceptionally long playlist of original songs featuring titles like "Beautiful Life Is" , "So High", and "To Save The World", the bands future in music is looking exceedingly brite. With influences across the board from Jack Johnson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, Led Zeppelin and slews more the band is versatile with many breeds of music. SRB has played venues such as Martyrs, Lake Shore Theatre, Elbo Room, Penny Road Pub and Reggies. Playing alongside of acts such as L.A. Guns, Stevie Starlite, Bo Ho Paisley, etc., they have had the privelage to play with many great musicians. Collectively having played several hundred shows, they are out to make a name for themselves in a life of great music. Continuing to self record/produce and promote a second EP while setting up a summer tour across the nation through California,and traversing back to their homeland Chicago. SRB is currently being played on college radio in California, 98.3 WVLP FM in Indiana, Fearless Radio, and many more across the internet. The band has a sound and feel like a college kids verve in a summertime dream, and is always searching for any and all worthwhile oppotunities to jam. Shannon Richardson Band is currently seeking out everyone from new friends, fans, gigs, sponsors, air play, artists, honestly just everyone and anyone who would like to be a part of this bands life of music.
