Richard Horton has loved playing music since the fourth grade, when the clarinet became his first instrument. Two years later his life long love affair with the guitar began. By the time he entered Fisk university as a music major he had already become addicted to live performance in marching bands, pep bands, and social events. Almost immediately after graduating, he was fortunate enough o begin an eight year stint touring and recording with Peabo Bryson. Over the years Richard has been a musical director and performed at churches, organizations, weddings and so many other various events.
