Bluegrass band Big Richard makes music for the 21st century’s twisted cultural unease. Their latest album Pet, out this February on Signature Sounds, is a fierce, provocative, rejoinder to what troubles them and the world right now. It was recorded live to tape in order to capture the fervor of their live shows.
“Big Richard is so much about our energetic delivery, and so I think it's been really important for us as a group to figure out how to do that for a record,” says mandolin and guitar player Bonnie Sims.
Big Richard delivers ferocious, unapologetic acoustic music with big energy and even bigger chops. Their live shows are raucous, emotional, and irreverent — mixing ripping instrumentals, dark humor, and raw, socially charged songs.
