Richard Burgan
Vocals & Bass
Richard most frequently plays a custom made Carvin fretless bass but also owns a Fender
Precision bass. His performance amp is also a Carvin with a 15" JBL speaker. The only
vocal microphone he has ever used is a Shure SM 58 (23 years and counting). Also in his
collection Richard has a Fender practice amp, Carvin electric guitar, Kamaka
Brothers ukelele, and, up until recently, a Gibson Ripper bass guitar
(has anybody seen my Ripper? :^)
Richard has played in jazz and R&B-influenced groups for over two decades.
His soulful vocals are a great asset to the diversity of song styles
The B-Movie Kings can perform,
and his strong bass playing creates a solid foundation for the band.
In addition to performing with The B-Movie Kings,
Richard also writes his own material and hopes in the near future to be able to form an
acoustic jazz/blues combo where he can sing his own
songs as well as perform interpretations of popular standards.
