Ian Richardson

I grew up in Duxbury, MA. Spent most of my time playing music or causing trouble. I started with the piano like most kids at around age 7, got my first guitar when i was 11, my first drum kit when i was 13, and it was all downhill from there. I started playing out in bars and clubs regularly when i was 16 as a drummer with the South Shore's Grateful Dead cover band "American Beauty". I knew right away that getting paid to play music seemed like the path i wanted to follow. I have been plugging away at it since then. These days im averaging at least 200+ shows a year! I have been fortunate enough to play in several states and many different venues. While i have played in both original and cover bands in the past, my gigs now are mostly cover gigs. I recently recorded a CD of original music that should be out by the Fall of '07.
