Richard Strater Biography
"Camden’s Richard Strater has been on the road as a touring musician for the past few years, playing his densely written indie-folk melodies in 36 different states and over a hundred different towns. So when he says “life events” are his inspiration to write songs, that opens up a whole realm of possible subject matter. "Kevin Oliver -ColaDaily.com Novemer 6th, 2016
"As a solo artist, it’s just Strater and his acoustic guitar up on stage, but his impressive voice resonating with crisp strumming is just as attention-grabbing as many four-piece rock groups. Strater’s music is harmonious and driven — he packs a punch while still maintaining coffee shop or small club vibe" --Erika Ryan, The Free Times September 7th, 2016.
"Strater’s music is sarcastic, blunt, and genuine. With influences by Seether and Staind, his music is pivotal, sensational, and somber. His current EP ‘The Pessimistic Troubadour’ is a display of all these traits. The name derives from a traveling music, Troubadour, and a characteristic that describes himself, Pessimistic. Though as bleak as it seems at first, the music has a light to it: an encouraging outlook toward societal problems, posing questions about life and how we live. It offers an optimistic view from a gloomy one and a ‘screw you’ to society.”" Marlin Carpenter, Rev Amp Magazine December 2014
