The band has been a popular NW attraction for over a decade. The A&E once called their style "Spicy Americana Originals" and reviews in Positively Entertainment say that Wayne is a "consummate performer and story teller" and that "the heart and soul of his music ricochets off you like a mountain sunrise welcoming a new day."
The legendary Dave Carter said, "Take a heart as big as the western sky and then completely invent anew mousetrap around it and you'll have something like a song by Wayne." They are funny, up tempo, a little risque and all around good time. The band does original songs and several have won awards. "Blue" was the Portland Songwriters Association song of the year, Dallas Song Writer Association voted "So Easy" as a winner in their singer songwirter category, and "Remember Me" won the Nashville Golden Pen Award. The band includes Paul Hirschmann on lead guitars, Mark Evilsizer on drums, KJ Miller on vocal harmonies, Brent rogers on bass and vocal harmonies, and Wayne Richards on vocals and guitar. Southern Nights is a guaranteed good time!
