I have a new song written and we are starting to practice it and work out the kinks. I heard a friend of mine say something this week that gave me the idea. If you have ever heard the phrase "It's kinda like Missouri, you're gonna have to show me" then you might like this one. It's a play on Missouri being "the show me state". We look forward to seeing everybody on Friday, April 18th at 7 pm. Email us for the location and details at richandandy@gmail.com. See you soon!

Stage Lighting
Stage Lighting:
We are working to improve the look of our stage show by adding new LED lights. We have had a light rack for a while but we recently combined that with a programmable lighting controller. This controller gives us the ability to customize the colors and patterns. We are definitely not looking for a wild looking effect, just something subtle. In addition we have also added washout LED light panels for the back wall to give the stage a cool look of depth. Now we can clearly see out music and equipment in even the darkest venue.
We hope to see you at a show soon!

Recording Studios: Groundfloor Studios
4-4-14
Last night we visited Groundfloor Studios to meet with their recording producer and engineer. We had a chance to do some test recording just to get a feel for playing and singing in a recording booth and to better understand the process. What we found out was we have a lot of work ahead of us. The producer was extremely nice and wants to help get the best sound out of us as possible. The whole experience was mind blowing for us. We honestly never thought we would get to this point. Even if this goes nowhere, we are going to have the time of our lives doing it!
Our plans are to record an album with all original songs written by Andy. The Rich and Andy acoustic sound will be supplemented by bass and light percussion. Our hopes is to make a recording that sounds full and energetic and fun to listen to. The songs we are recording are all about us and what we like and experience in life. So far we have "Start Living My Life", "Hangin' at the Lake", Summer's Leavin;", "Drinkin' Beer in the Sun", "An Island in the Sun" and "Life on the Tiki Deck". Andy is currently writing about three more songs that we hope to put on the album.
We will update as more unfolds but it looks like the official signing to the record label will take place in early May and shortly followed by a press release and promoting by the record label. We hope to have the album recorded and mastered by late May and ready for sale on-line and at our shows starting in early June. The record label is even going to promote us in print, TV and radio..... we may actually get to have a song played on some radio station somewhere... LOL
Thank to everybody for all the support and keep listening!!!
