The Walt Richardson & Friends

Arizona Music Hall of Fame icon, Walt Richardson brings his amazing reggae rock show to Sedona, with special friends Gigi Gonaway (Whitney Houston, Steve Winwood, Aretha Franklin), Drew Hall (Cheektones), and more. This is sure to be an amazing rock event of music and dancing at the best club in Arizona.

I am a soul, living out and enjoying life as a songwriting, storytelling, and performing musician. At best to describe my music is to say it is derives from my own spin of Folk, Rock, Reggae, and added African and Latin influences.

I am self-taught and started learning to play guitar at the age of nine. The Beatles were my early influence in music. Later in my teens, and to this day, many artists like Jimi Hendrix, Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater, Sly and The Family Stone, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Parliament and many others entered the picture.

After completing my BS degree, I began my musical pursuits. Coming from a creative family, this seemed natural to me. It is a way of life for me.

Through music I have traveled, and I've enjoyed the opportunity to meet great artists like Carlos Santana, Burning Spear, Taj Mahal and share the stage with bands ranging from Third World to Ziggy Marley.

From backyard house parties, to coffee houses, wine bars, night clubs, and concert stages... it is and incredible feeling to be able to fill the air with music and be part of it's marvelous effect on people.

I am thankful and grateful to have the support of Family, Friends, Fans, and music... It's a wonderful life!
