Talented and a pleasure to deal with

Bob played in our home for a Christmas Party with about 22-30 people. Several guests commented on how good Bob was, and as hosts, we couldn't agree more. In addition, the whole booking experience with Bob was a pleasure. Great communication, lots of song variety to choose from, and just a total gentleman. We'd love to have Bob back at our next social! Thanks Bob.

About

Hello
It's good to be updating my bio after what I call a crazy year and a half. Things are looking like they're going to get back to normal, and I for one couldn't be happier.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bob Richard. I’m a professional guitarist and singer for hire for a one man acoustic show. I have 20 years’ experience working full time in the industry, playing most every weekend in and around the lower mainland. I play a wide variety of acoustic music for all occasions.
From just instrumental acoustic, to full on pop and rock renditions of top 40 songs with vocals and backup music.
There's a YouTube link on the video section of this site containing several live performance clips.
You can scroll down to see the ever expanding song list.
I can usually be found playing in and around the lower mainland.
Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to get an update on where I will be playing if you're interested in coming to see my performance.
I've played wedding ceremonies, as well as private parties and pubs and clubs.
I carry myself with the utmost professionalism and can work with my clients to ensure they have a great experience with their music needs.

Sincerely
Bob Richard
