About Me

Check out Rich Kirkpatrick's Weblog www.richkirkpatrick.com
I love to write songs and sing and perform everything from jazz to rock music. I am a singer-songwriter, worship leader and associate pastor at Sunridge Community Church , Temecula, CA.
My wonderful and delicious wife is Tammy and I have an amazingly creative and talented daughter, Emilie and my "best bub" son, Ethan.
I love to write music, love to blog at Rich Kirkpatrick's Weblog and I love great coffee especially local roasts, but I love Peet's Coffee the best as far as chain roasts go. My favorite drink changes, but a cappuccino cannot be beat. I can actually make a pretty good one myself, too.
I moved to Temecula in 2007. I was in Austin, TX for a few years previous to moving to Redding, CA and after living in the Bay Area most of my life.
My dream is to see creative people connect and form a community here in town. I love being around artists, musicians, filmmakers and the like. My job is great, since I have dozens of creative people I get work with on a regular basis. I hope to meet you someday.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/27/2005
Band Website: richkirkpatrick.com
Band Members:

Just me, Rich and some great musician friends.

PLEASE READ MY WEBLOG!! My blog is located at www.richkirkpatrick.com

Influences: These are the ecelectic selection of bands and artists that I can recall at this point in time that have influenced me musically and in a couple cases, spiritually.

Brian Doerksen ,
Keith Green ,
Take 6 ,
Tom Coster ,
Michael W. Smith ,
Matt Redman ,
Billy Joel ,
Bruce Hornsby ,
Richie Cole ,
Manhattan Transfer
Lincoln Brewster

...of course there are many more
Sounds Like: I have been told that I play piano like Bruce Hornsby. My voice, on the other hand, is pretty versatile. I am not a great rock singer, but love doing it. I can croon and belt it out and even scat pretty darn good with jazz bebop. I draw the line somewhere between opera and country. A capella singing and vocal jazz are a huge part of my background as well as modern church music. Modern church music these days sounds much like anything from U2 to name your group. So, I am ecelectic or ADD. Take your pick.
Record Label: Tehilla Music
Type of Label: Indie
