James Richards makes music to live but not for a living, balancing music alongside graduate school, family and work. While Richards put musical roots in Asheville, NC in 2000 to live out his dream as a performing songwriter, he currently saves his voice and guitar mostly for campfire sing-a-longs, benefits, house parties, and places of worship.
Richards also collaborates with local musicians, particularly as a bass player for Night's Bright Colors.
A classicly trained singer steeped in self-described acousticfunkgrass, Richards looks to Lightnin' Hopkins, Otis Redding, and Peter Gabriel among others for inspiration.
