BIG RICHARD
What began as an all-female festival collaboration quickly morphed into a serious passion project driven by sisterhood, harmony and humor–along with the shared desire to rage fiddle tunes and smash the patriarchy.Big Richard is a neo-acoustic super group composed of four well-established Colorado musicians:
Bonnie Sims on Mandolin
Bonnie & Taylor Sims, Everybody Loves an Outlaw, Bonnie and the Clydes
Joy Adams on Cello
Nathaniel Rateliff, Darol Anger, Half Pelican
Emma Rose on Bass & Guitar
Sound of Honey, Daniel Rodriguez, Whippoorwill
Eve Panning on Fiddle
Formed in late 2021, the band gained quick notoriety for their charismatic stage presence and their vocal / instrumental prowess. After selling out all of their club shows, Big Richard quickly started confirming festival appearances across America. This year is shaping up to be one huge year.
