Robert and Jessica with special guest Joshua Slamp

The Woods
Portland, OR


Portland native Robert Richter began teaching himself guitar at the age of 12 when he purchased a Sears "Silvertone" guitar from a neighbor for $5 and the promise to mow his lawn for a month. (He still has the guitar) Over the years Richter has become known as a versatile guitarist and songwriter known for his ability to perform a variety of styles from acoustic to electric to blues to folk to Celtic.

With a strong powerful voice, Richter is electrifying with his energy, enthusiasm, sense of humor and most of all his innate ability to connect with people. His original songs range from the uptempo rock-a-billy blues style originated at the legendary Sun Records Studio in Memphis to Leo Kottke influenced instrumentals on slide guitar to evocative, lyrical songs.

Violinist Jessica Hitchborn is an energetic player whose style and energy provides the perfect complement to Richter's songwriting and guitar and vocal arrangements. Hitchborn won back to back Oregon State Fiddling titles and competed at the nationals held in Weiser, Idaho. The two also perform Celtic music as well.
