Tall Richard

Hailing originally from Marshfield, Mass and a long time Plymouth resident Tall Richard has been playing professionally for 25 years.The former student of Jerry Portnoy has come a long way working his band and duo up and down the East Coast and venturing in to Canada from time to time. Recent Halifax, Nova Scotia press described his harp playing as "overdriving his harmonica like a New England squall and blowing some smokestack lightning through the harp". He has shared the stage and performed with such luminaries as Bo Diddley and Coco Montoya. Last year a reviewer summed up the duo Tall King Review in this way: "The Tall King review is Tall Richard with Darren King on guitar. The latter was spellbinding on "Hot for a Woman" and a Tall Richard original "Dancin', Prancin' and Romancin'" sounded like 1950's rock with some tasty blues harp accents.
