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 (dedicated to raising his daughters and 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!)
