As a founding member of Ethno-Improv Pioneers SUN CITY GIRLS (1981 - 2007), Richard Bishop has spent the last 26 years perplexing, amazing, and alienating audiences. In early 2005, Sir Richard Bishop began extensive touring as a solo artist, performing throughout Europe, Australia, and the United States, armed with only an acoustic guitar. One can perhaps recognize the influences of Django Reinhardt, Jimmy Page, and Ravi Shankar in his playing, though he has fused these and other influential elements into his own unique style.
Sir Richard's solo guitar explorations often reflect the shadow worlds of India, the Middle East and other points along the Gypsy trail. Expect a fair amount of improvisation during live shows, plus there is always a chance he will perform some rarely played Sun City Girls pieces.
The good Sir has released four "official" solo guitar records: WHILE MY GUITAR VIOLENTLY BLEEDS (Locust Music, 2007), FINGERING THE DEVIL (Southern Records, 2006), IMPROVIKA (Locust Music, 2004), and SALVADOR KALI (Revenant, 1998). 2006 also saw the release of ELEKTRONIKA DEMONIKA (Locust Music). There is NO GUITAR on this vinyl oddity.
