Rich is a composer/performer of meditative solo piano music and reflective songs.
The debut instrumental piano album Valentine Court is available through Last FM and to purchase through the usual online retailers.
Influences on the piano music include the minimalism of Steve Reich and the rich harmony and melody of Eric Satie, with hints of post-rock and downtempo electronica.
Festival appearances to date include The Big Chill Festival, Gigbeth Festival, Drop Beats Not Bombs, Moseley Festival, Birmingham Cathedral.
Rich began his musical training in the local Church Choir before exploring his love for vocal harmony further with the National Youth Choir and later the CBSO Chorus. Then, in the 1990’s Rich was lead singer and main songwriter with guitar outfits Serene Machine and Maroon and more recently, Beach Boys and Four Seasons band, Gidea Park.
Rich remains a major Brian Wilson fan and will often include songs from Pet Sounds in his live shows.
