Remember the song back in the 90's with the refrain "Tell me all your thoughts on god, I'd really like to meet her..."? 
Richards began his career as the lead singer of the alternative rock band Dishwalla. The band released their debut album Pet Your Friends in 1995. The album scored Dishwalla a #1 hit in 1996 with the Richards-penned "Counting Blue Cars", which won Richards a Billboard Music Award for Top Mainstream Rock Track of the Year. In March 2022, the song received a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for digital sales and streams of over 500,000 units!

Dishwalla produced four other albums with Richards as lead singer and main songwriter, including And You Think You Know What Life's About (1998), Opaline (2002), a live album called Live... Greetings from the Flow State (2003), and Dishwalla (2005). Following the completion of Dishwalla, bassist Scot Alexander and drummer Pete Maloney left the band. The band broke up shortly after their departures. In 2008, Dishwalla reformed without Richards.

Richards has been producing since the 1990s and, along with Dishwalla, has gone on to produce other artists including Dom AD, Amy Grant, boudwin, Paddock, Awi Rafael and the British band BritRoyal. 

He also produced his solo albums as well as songs for various television shows, including One Tree Hill (TV series) in 2009, How I Met Your Mother in 2012, and Criminal Minds in 2013. In 2013, he wrote, produced and performed songs (including the theme song "White Light"), for the TV series SAF3. In 2017, Richards wrote and recorded twenty songs for the newly re-booted version of "Baywatch".


In addition to his musical ambitions, Richards has also appeared as an actor in the films, Charmed, Almost Anything, and Morning (which he also scored).

In addition to the concert, ticket holders also will be invited to a special meet and greet session before the show all while enjoying special appetizers, a custom Uncle Nearest Bar serving up both neat pours of Uncle Nearest 1856, Uncle Nearest 1884
Uncle Nearest Rye, Uncle Nearest Single Barrel as well as several signature cocktails specially prepared for the evening before the show!

Please secure your ticket before they are gone and join us for this memorable evening of unforgettable music and fellowship in the spirit...
