Introducing the talented pianist, singer, drummer, and guitarist, Richard Tazewell!
Richard’s interest in music began when his father brought his sister a ukulele back from Hawaii. “I was four and had plenty of time on my hands. She showed no interest but I was fascinated that I could make chords by pressing down on strings.”
Richard is especially fond of music from the 1920s and 1930s. “(It’s) When the high art of classical music met up with popular music and gave birth to jazz.” Piano is Richard’s primary instrument, selected in order to get a solid starting point in the music world. “As a kid I wanted to play saxophone like my cousin. My mom suggested that I begin by playing piano so that I could get a good foundation in music.”
For several years Richard has played “Martini Mondays” at Galloway Ridge on a bimonthly basis but he also enjoys playing outside for festive events, providing atmosphere for parties, and serenading the seniors with songs from their youth. Richard has gotten rave reviews from our clients. Contact Save the Date Music to hire Richard for your special occasion.
