TODD RICHARD - EPK

Todd Richard's stage presence during a big show is nothing short of dynamic, and his fans love him for his explosive energy, rich vocals and unique gritty style.

Todd's music is on the leading edge of Today's Country sound and features a wide array of "true story" songs that make one want to 'laugh' 'rock' 'dance'  'think' and 'cry.'  

Himself and his award-winning TR Band have shared the stage with many of country music’s top acts,
including Dallas Smith, Washboard Union, Dwight Yoakum, Dierks Bentley, Gord Bamford , Rick Tippe, rock legend Randy Bachman and more!

Todd is a two-time BCCMA "Humanitarian of the Year" for his work with multiple fire and flood relief fundraisers & for creating a song specifically for Variety the Children's Charity Titled-Follow Your Heart, with 100% proceeds going to kids at Variety BC

Received Variety BC's "Colleen Wood" award, and an International Media Award from Variety International for his work on spearheading project "Follow Your Heart."

In 2019 released his 3rd album aptly titled Live Your Life- The title tracks 20 years in the making! 

With multiple singles from his Live Your Life album, charting in the Top 100 DMDS

Brought back the 7pm acknowledgement in 2020, with the release of his single- Green and Blue, a touching tribute and thank you to all frontline, care provider and first responders.

“When Todd Richard steps on stage, it's always with energy, grit and style. The country singer's stage presence during a big show is nothing short of dynamic, and his fans love him for it.” - Jessica Peters, Agassiz-Harrison Observer

Rick Tippe
 
Todd's music is on the leading edge of Today's Country sound and features a wide array of songs that make one want to 'laugh'- Zero to Hero, 'rock'- High Time, 'dance'- Stand Up, 'think'- Life's about People and 'cry' with Todd's tribute song to Cancer Survivors- Journey On!

Casey Clarke/ CMT Canada
After watching Todd perform on CMT Canada’s Big in a Small Town, Casey Clarke was quoted as saying ... “There is no one in the business who has sacrificed more in the pursuit of their dream”.

Amanda Wilkinson/Small Town Pistols  
"Todd's voice is like a warm blanket with his rich deep tones" There is no doubt about it Todd Richard is making a strong impression on music industry personnel and fans alike. Just listen and you will hear why....

Jennifer Fienberg, Chilliwack Progress “The producers liked his appealing and folksy back story: a hard-working guy and his wife sell almost everything to fuel his rock-and-roll dream of making it in the country music world as a singer-songwriter, partly to honour his late father's memory. With his smooth vocals and distinct look, he made it to Nashville, recorded a video, and some songs with some crack session players and has been slogging away ever since with his debut CD, Journey On. A panel of CMT Canada judges winnowed down the contestants to 30 people in their search for the next big country artist. The actual winner of the $100,000 prize package gets a recording contract in studio and much more. "Gotta stay positive!" ”
