Touring with Michael Buble` and featured at North America’s largest Country festival, The Merritt Mountain Music festival, Richard has proven he can appeal to any audience. Now on an eastern tour to promote his new CD, Richard’s tour includes headlining Toronto YukYuk’s Super Club (June22-25), Montreal’s Comedy Nest (June29-July2) and then off to New York City for his triumphant return.
