Michael Richardson

A two time veteran of the war in Iraq, Michael Richardson is a true blue American and believes in getting the job done. He has taken that same approach to every performance whether in the trenches or on the stage. Hailing from a musical family, Michael was the last to enter the music scene, but by far one of the best. He started his obsession with music at an early age singing with his father's group, "Rubberband" on many occasions. He then began playing in several different groups gaining much valuable experience along the way. First was an acoustic duo in 2001 doing small club gigs and then he teamed up with his brother Richie Roccisano and joined "Hadlock" (Rythym Guitar and Backing Vocals) in 2003. In late 2003, he took his first trip to Iraq. He formally left "Hadlock" in late 2004 and in early 2005 became a member "Shagnasty" (Lead Vocals), this being the first time he truly fronted a band. In 2006, Michael went to Iraq for the second time and upon his return in early 2007, he joined the band "Underfoot" (Lead Vocals). Given the chance to open for Blue Oyster Cult founding members, Joe an Al Bouchard in July 2007, Michael finally found himself on the big stage in front of a huge crowd of people. Receiving many praises for his performance, this only fueled his desire to do things on a bigger and better scale. 2008 has begun a transformation. In early 2008, Michael left his last band and formed the hard rock band "Seventh Son". This group will feature original music written by Michael and the members of his group. Michael is also writing and recording with his brother Richie Roccisano for the self dubbed project "Roccisano".
