Richard Studholme - Zoned



Richard Studholme - Zoned - 2008

Richard Studholme has been a working musician both pro and semi-pro from the age of 13, when he joined his first band while at school. Like all of his age who grew up into music Richard was initially profoundly interested in The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, although not too attracted by the more overt "pop" material from those days. After becoming interested in who the writers were on the Stones first album, Richard set out to find out who E. McDaniel, J. Moore, McKinley Morganfield, Willie Dixon and Jimmy Reed were, and discovered the rich world of American Blues. British favourites from the 60's blues boom included John Mayall, and Fleetwood Mac, particularly the guitar of Peter Green. Moving to New York in 1977, working as a mechanic, Richard began to discover the blues on a more local level besides the more famous and well-known

Towards the end of the 90's he started recording and producing, going on to open Tone Zone studio, where some great CDs were made. Richard moved when the original building was converted to a residence, but has never found another place that sounded the same. Some of the material recorded and written from then has found its way onto his solo CD, 'Zoned'. While at the studio, Richard recorded, played on and produced award nominated and critically acclaimed work with Eric Bibb, Arthur Brown, David Maxwell, Hubert Sumlin, The Kenney Jones Band, Donovan, Deborah Bonham, Damon Hill, and many other wonderful artists, both local and international. However, Richard's favourite album recorded at the Tone Zone is still Roger Hubbards "Deep Mud"...

Richards musical favourites and influences are still 50's and 60's R & B, blues, soul, cajun and zydeco, and American roots music generally.
