Best with a glass of wine or high quality brew, pick a quiet evening, sit back and savor .

Born in Fort Worth, TX, Richard Gilbert has been playing guitar and writing songs since he was 14 years old. Inspired by the James Taylor's lyrics and playing style and Al Green's voice, Gilbert worked for years to channel those eclectic influences into a unique style characterized by unconventional musicality but firmly rooted in folk traditions.
After a few years of traveling, Gilbert settled in his adopted hometown of Denton, TX, where he played his first open mic night in 2004 at the urging of his son, a regular on the Denton folk music circuit. Since that night, Gilbert has enjoyed a wide variety of musical opportunities, including playing at the Tulsa Mayfest in 2013, 35 Denton 2015, Unofficial Shows at SXSW 2015, Oaktopia 2015 and opening for local favorites Sleepyhouse and Savage and the Big Beat. He now resides in Dallas TX, playing venues in the DFW area.

If provided sound, I just need a sound person and d/I box. I can provide my own sound with an L1 Bose Tower.
