Whisper's Roadhouse

Advertisement

John Richardson, the man behind Richardson Acoustic, brings heartfelt solo acoustic country music straight from Wisconsin, with a dash of Nashville flair. Rising from a 20-year hiatus navigating life’s ups and downs, John now channels his passion into intimate performances filled with classic and current country hits—think Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash… even a twist of Bon Jovi, Tesla, Guns and Roses, and Alice in Chains.

•Authentic storytelling — rooted in Midwestern humble beginnings, Busch Light, friendship, and good laughs.

•Real-life resurgence: Dusting off his Martin parlor guitar and embracing music therapy led John to a solo stage leap in 2023—and since then, he's rocked nearly 100 shows in WI & IL, with over 100 shows in 2025 across WI, IL & OH!

•"Push the Positive" spirit — he plays with sincerity, a dash of humor, and gratitude for every audience member.

•Versatile song repertoire — from country and honky-tonk to red dirt, story-driven singer/songwriter tunes, with requests welcomed live.

You bring the stage—he brings the music (and maybe a Jameson-shot!)
