On his 60th birthday in 2014, Tempe declared January 18th to be ‘Walt Richardson Day’, and he was the first artist enshrined on the Tempe Music Walk of fame. Influenced by the Beatles; Bob Marley, Carlos Santana, Cat Stevens, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Dylan – Walt Richardson is a multi-faceted; self-taught musician, starting his love affair with the guitar at age nine. His music is derived from his own spin of Folk, Rock, Reggae, with African and Latin influences – best called, ‘World Reggae Folk’.
“I am a soul, living out and enjoying life as a songwriting, storytelling, and performing musician…”– Walt Richardson
Through music and travelling, he has had the opportunity to meet great artists like Carlos Santana, Burning Spear, and Taj Mahal to name a few. He has shared the stage with bands including Third World & Ziggy Marley. A longtime fixture of the local music scene – from backyard house parties to coffee houses, wine bars to night clubs, and concert stages – they all resonate with this energetic; multi-talented musician. Walt says, “It is and incredible feeling to be able to fill the air with music, and be part of its marvelous effect on people”.
