The 2010-2011 Grand Champion of American Country Star and Colorado's winner for 2010-2011 Country Strong Competition. Richie is a Nashville recording artist, with Richie Law EP released as his demo album. He has opened for major country artists including Josh Turner, Thompson Square, Bill Dean, Jewell, Sawyer Brown, and charity events with country superstars Darius Rucker, Darryl Worley, and Michael Martin Murphey.
A big supporter of our Troops, he enjoys performing for the soldiers and their families. In 2012 he was "coined" by the Rocky Mountain USO for entertaining the Troops at Fort Carson. In 2013 he is partnered with Forward Operating Base (FOB) Colorado to raise awareness and donations to support outdoor adventures for wounded and active military and their families.
Richie was born in Kennesaw, GA and is surrounded by a family filled with musical talent. Richie sang in complete sentences before he spoke in complete sentences. He began singing harmony at 4. He has lived in Colorado for the last 15 years. At 7 years of age, he had a tumor removed from his chest. This modest young man dismisses it as "God was just making room for the gift of this voice."
His band, Southern Routes, is headed by his award-winning song writer dad, Chuck Lawson. Richie is a man with a heart for Christ and also sings in the small church where his dad heads the music program. Richie is also an avid hunter and fisherman.
Richie believes that it is not our challenges that define us; it's how we handle them that make us who we are.
Most of all, Richie loves to perform. He is happiest when he is with his fans and singing all-American songs. His dynamic style is hugely entertaining, but you'll soon fall in love with this baby faced 6'5 southern gentleman.
Richie and the Southern Routes Band will be performing at the Park County Fair on July 21st at 8:00pm
