Richard Wilkins - Empty Seats

Artiest/Band: Richard Wilkins

  • Album: Empty Seats
  • Release 2024
  • Label: Self
Portland, Oregon blues singer/songwriter, bass guitar/ tenor sax player Richard Wilkins is accompanied here on drums by Jimi Bott [Fabulous Thunderbirds, Mannish Boys] and Paul Brainard on guitar, lap steel, trumpet.

Along with LaRhonda Steele adding her vocal to the title track Empty Seats. The self produced CD titled “Empty Seats” is an epic journey through nine stunning originals,
and covers of Hollywood Fats, and Rod Piazza plus some traditional Irish and Scottish tunes.

It's been two years since Richard's last CD, "Life's for Livin," was released with critical acclaim. "Empty Seats" features top Portland musicians, including Paul Brainard on guitar, lap steel, and trumpet, LaRhonda Steele on vocals on “Empty Seats” and “Rainy Sunday,” and Jimi Bott on percussion. Since the late 1960s, Richard has shared stages big and small with everyone from Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, John Bonham, Lightning Hopkins, Johnny Winter, and many more. This CD is a romp through his lifetime growing up in LA in the ‘60s, listening to Jimmy Reed and The Rolling Stones, and going to the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock. Richard now lives and plays in Portland, Ore. He loves the joy of writing songs and playing music.
