Richie Thompson
Overview
An American veteran out playing music to help others forget about life for a few hours. Richie has played with Retro Xpress, The Barefoot Budda Band and currently with Minor Adjustment. He is also a memeber of Drive Thru Rodeo and the Rich Bishop duo. He has colaberated with several duo partners and played various venues throughout the Southeast. Wheather he is playing in a band or doing a solo gig, he is always having fun. His selections feature Yacht Rock, Blues, Old Country, and Southern Rock. His solo performances are great for any occasion but he is a perfect entertainer for Happy Hour and afternoon weekend crowds. Pull up a chair and stay awhile.

About
RIchie is a military brat that also served in the United States Navy himself. He began playing around 12 years of age and for years would be in several bands or duo's. Music was his favorite hobbie and once he retired, he has become lazer focused on getting out in public and just enjoying life. He has been combining his love to camp/travel with playing gig across the southeast. Currently he splits time between a band, Minor Adjustmet, with his highschool classmates, and a newly formed duo, Rich Bishop Duo. Love of music keeps him busy.
Additional booking notes
I would prefer a house sound system but I am fully equiped for everything.
