Richard Smith first met his hero, the "Godfather" of finger style guitar, Chet Atkins, when he was only eleven and was invited by Chet to play with him on stage at Her Majesty's Theatre in London. He played Chet's arrangement of "Whispering," and Chet played along with him. The audience went crazy, and Chet asked him to play another one. Before Richard could decide what to play, someone shouted "Little Rock Getaway!" Richard played Chet's own complicated arrangement of this tune while Chet, not playing this time, watched him in astonishment.
Richard has toured around the world, surprising audiences everywhere with his genius. His wife Julie on the cello adds depth and dimension to their musical interpretations, showcasing a repertoire spanning an incredible range of musical styles from country, bluegrass, mainstream jazz, modern pop and rock, to classical guitar. With his solo guitar, Richard also plays several of John Phillip Souza's marches and, incredibly, comes close to sounding like an entire marching band drums and all. Richard is accompanied by his wife and accomplished cellist, Julie Adams, who has played cello on many notable albums and with several acclaimed symphonic orchestras. This is a World-Class Show, and you will marvel at the musical mastery this duo presents. World-Class, by definition, means:
1. Ranking among the world's best; outstanding: a world-class orchestra.
2. Attracting or comprising world-class players, performers, etc.
This is, without question a WORLD CLASS SHOW. Don't miss it! Get your tickets NOW!!!
