Mickey Richard - Bluesician of "Philos-o-Pop"
Singer/songwriter/guitarist, Bluesician Mickey Richard has been performing his "philosophical, semi-fictional and frequently humorous observations with a jazzy-bluesy-roots vibe amid pop sensibilities" around Ann Arbor, Michigan since moving back to the area in 2002, after spending nearly a quarter century on the West Coast. Joe Summers, of The Joe Summers' Gypsy Jazz Trio, has this to say:
"In a world of contrived, overproduced and uninspired pop sounds, the rocking/retro, eclectic/contemporary sounds of Mickey Richard brings back the purity, the freedom and fun of '50s Rock and Roll, the cry of the Blues, and the joy of Swing...there is more than a sliver of entertainment here, no matter how you slice it!."
Mickey's lyrics explore the depths of sublime spiritual thought, examine the humor in common situations, and connect those two disparate elements together with clever word play. Whether he's describing a personal life experience or a fictional character's day-to-day needs, his songs tend to have deep underlying messages. Mickey's reverence for the Earth, and all life forms that live on, in and above the planet, are always in his thoughts, heart, and soul. Mickey's life mission, is summed up simply "I want to do my part to heal the Earth. I feel my best tool, for achieving that admittedly lofty goal, is by sharing my spiritual philosophy through music."
