 John Richey  

Hailing from the state of Wisconsin, Master fiddler John Richey brings his fine bow and passion for presenting a tune from the soul with excellence to Boyne Country.

 

John first rosin'd his bow in the Irish pub scene in Milwaukee.  In his travels far and wide across America he has played with a long list of fine musicians.  His passion and agressive joyous approach to playing brings to life the ancient tunes and gives an electric sparkle to the newer ones. In addition to Synergy, John plays with the Robert Emmet society Hoolie Band, the T-Trio, the Blissfest band and Shepherd's Folly.

 

John's background is diverse and includes playing with the Walloon's, the Great Lakes Orchestra, the Charlevoix Boys, Frogwater, North Country String Band, Free Whiskey, The Long-goodies -- to name just a few.  Additionally, he has a number of recordings to his credit with several groups where he is featured as a singer in addition to his fine work on the violin.

 

His heart stirring vocals and abilities to make the fiddle, guitar, and mandolin sing brings a rich and moving musical voice to the music of Synergy.

 

When it comes to his fiddle playing, John is uncomparable.                  

 

 

 John's talent with celtic and traditional tunes takes "Synergy" to a new and fresh Old Tyme musical dimension.
