Music Type: Americana \ Country 

Singer\Songwriter Steve Richards was born in Los Angeles, California in 1955.

Residing in Arizona, Steve’s love of music came at a very early age when he tried his hand at writing lyrics to an old Beau Brummels song titled (Laugh, Laugh). He was hooked. After a hitch in the United States Air Force during the latter part of the Vietnam War, Steve’s love for songwriting and guitar playing became apparent as he began crafting songs from his everyday life.  In the late 90’s Steve met Gary Buck, President of The Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame and owner of Broadland International Records in Nashville. Gary helped guide Steve in bringing his inspirations to life.

Steve’s upcoming CD Release “Southbound Train” is a labor of love that Steve has crafted into his own masterpiece. The Southbound tracks penned by Steve, bring to you a visual adventure that reminds the listener of his all time favorite songwriters Harry Chapin and Justin Hayward.  Steve is able to weave tales of Romance and Adventure with songs of Happiness and Sorrow.  Deeply inspiring, and sometimes spiritually moving are how Steve’s songs have been described.

With a never before released Buddy Holly song titled “That Makes It Tough” along with Nashville Songwriter, Scott Turner’s “West Texas Tears” a tear rendering tribute to Marty Robbins, Steve has been able to capture the essence of a by-gone era. The title cut  “SOUTHBOUND TRAIN” is a story about a ghost, eternally trapped on a train.  He’s trying to get back to his true love, only to find out that he’s just that,
