Richard Cummins and the NectarineHorse
Richard Cummins is a singer/songwriter in the "Beatlesque" tradition. Richard's music swings the pendulum from 3 minute chorusy pop songs, to complex orchestral scores and instrumentals, to firey electric guitar driven rock.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Coming Soon!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have played John Lennon in numerous Beatles tributes, and my own personal music in coffee shops, clubs, theaters, etc. I am currently looking for a versatile lineup of multi-instrumentalists to complete a rather complex musical endeavor. All you Beatles and early Jesus Movement junkies in Vancouver, BC Canada, give me a shout!
Your musical influences
Beatles first and foremost. They are and ever will be the standard of modern songwriting. I slant to the Paul McCartney side of things in that respect. Also, I am a huge fan of the late 1960's/early 1970's Jesus Movement music revolution. Larry Norman, Phil Keaggy, Keith Green - wow. Today I follow Phil Keaggy quite seriously, and have become a guitar student of his.
What equipment do you use?
Vox amps, Rickenbacker guitars, Hofner Bass. I'm a Beatles gear junkie, and love those tones. I also play a state of the art Korg SP500 keyboard, that thing is fantastic! I record exclusively on ZOOM equipment.
Anything else?
Coming Soon!
