Joey Richey

(Singer, Songwriter, Producer, Music Director)

 

Energetic, Engaging, Ecclectic, and Entertaining. These are some of the words used to describe a live experience with Joey Richey. He is no stranger to the music scene, with one of the most underrated resumes in the music industry. His career has a reach that is so much more than a “local” musician.

 

Joey is a proud native of Nashville, TN who has been involved in music since the age of five (5). Most people who have experienced a live performance with Joey Richey leave wondering, “How does he do ALL that and never seem to get tired?” Joey would tell you himself that he works hard on every aspect of his performances. “I am very fortunate to call some of the best musicians in the world my close and personal friends. So the band is always top notch to make certain the viewing audience gets a ‘Million Dollar Show’.” 

 

Joey is a product of all things Nashville… Educated in Public Schools, a graduate of M.L. King Magnet High School (class of 1995),  continued his passion for music on into his college career at Tennessee State University and Belmont University (class of 2000). Joey says, “I have tried to channel all the education and training from school and being around some of the greatest musicians alive into this experience. Having performed with and supported some of the greatest musical beings on the planet surely helps!!!” A list that includes the likes of One Republic, Cece Winans, Victor Wooten, Jonny Lang, Patti LaBelle, Keith Urban and Motley Crue surely doesn’t sound like the beginners club. “I’ve been inspired by the GREATEST.”, Joey Says. He names Stevie Wonder, Prince, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, James Brown, Michael Jackson, and Frank Sinatra as just a few of his main influences in popular music.

 

When asked what to expect from a live experience with Joey Richey and his band, He gently laughs and says, “It’s the best musical party you will ever attend!!! We’re gonna dance, have fun, sing, take a shot and start all over again!!!”
