Trip Richmond and Abby Hathorn after his rocking performance at The Bank.

Trip Richmond is a country singing star who is taking the music world by storm! Trip’s passion for music and diverse influences make his style stand out among other artists. Personally, I have never been a huge fan of country, but Trip Richmond’s tunes changed by opinion of the genre. After listening to his hot new single “Not Here Tonight”, my impression of country music was forever changed…for the better. If Trip’s Mississippi twang and heartfelt lyrics can make the VIP get up and dance, I know that he will be perfect for any music fan’s day-to-day playlist.

Trip has been writing and preforming songs for over a decade, and he has skillfully mastered incorporating the hardships of his past into his lyrics. “I consider my songs my babies, as most artists do,” says Richmond. “For folks who are trying to do what I do…you got to keep going, man. It can’t be about the money…it’s got to be about the song.”
