Jimmy Dale Richardson

With soaring vocals and biting guitar leads, Jimmy Dale Richardson is a vital force in keeping the integrity of roots music alive. This Ameripolitan Music Award recipient for “Best Rockabilly Male” crafts original songs that resonate with the raw energy of 1950s and 60s classics, earning airplay in over 20 countries and reaching #5 on the Alt Country Chart. Praised by publications like UK Rock n Roll magazine, Vintage Rock magazine, and Blue Suede News, Jimmy's dynamic live shows are a journey through decades and genres, from honky-tonk to soulful jumpin’ blues and high energy rock 'n' roll. His impressive vocal range has drawn comparisons to iconic voices such as Little Richard, Roy Orbison, Marty Robbins, Faron Young, and Chet Baker. Since 2019, Jimmy has captivated audiences internationally, headlining vintage music festivals and tours across Spain, Italy, the UK, and Canada.

"In the 80s, acts like the Stray Cats and Robert Gordon revived the old-fashioned exciting rockabilly sound. And if there is one contemporary artist who can once again bring such a revival, it is the American singer, guitarist and pianist Jimmy Dale Richardson."
