Shaun Richardson on SoundBetter

Hey, I'm Shaun Richardson! I'm a utility musician based out of Nashville, TN! I love getting to work on projects of all genres, and finding the right part for any song on a variety of instruments! Let's work on something together!

With a seasoned career already under his belt, Shaun is no stranger to the music industry. originally hailing from Michigan where he honed his craft from a young age, Shaun made the move to Nashville while already in-demand for on the road touring and session work. Having worked with a range of artists (TJ Jackson, Sierra Hull, The War & Treaty, Jessie James Decker, Dailey & Vincent, Michael Martin Murphey, and more) while having an active role at multiple recording studios in Nashville, Shaun has been able to contribute his artistic vision to a unique variation of musical projects. with accomplished skills in multi-instrumental musicianship, writing and arranging, and producing, he plays a triple threat in everything he is a part of. There is no doubt that anyone listening to Shaun can identify the expertise and sense the passion and love he has for music.

Please provide recording track in WAV/MP3 format, recording specs (bit/kHz) and BPM.
Number/chord chart would be ideal, but not mandatory.
