While still in his teens, Richard moved from his native Winnipeg to Montreal and joined the gypsy jazz group Swing Dynamique. Several years later, and after a classical music education at the University of Manitoba and the Conservatoire Nationale de Musique in Caen, France, he co-founded the critically acclaimed folk rock group Acoustically Inclined, garnering a huge national following.
Richard has performed and/or recorded with a variety of prominent artists, including Jane Siberry and Joel Fafard, and is currently also a member of the Juno nominated band The Bills.
