Jon Del Toro Richardson “Solo” & His Band “On Tour”

12pm – 3pm: Jon Del Toro Richardson “Solo” – Experience the unforgettable artistry of Jonn Del Toro Richardson—a guitar virtuoso whose sound is as vivid and original as his roots. Born into a musical family in Houston, Texas, he was raised on Latin rhythms played by relatives in touring mariachi ensembles, paired with a childhood soundscape of country, Motown, R&B, and the blues that drifted over his grandparents’ backyard fence. With an emotionally rich voice and lightning‑fast fretwork, he blends Texas blues with Latin funk and soulful swagger, delivering performances that are both heartfelt and electrifying.

Jonn’s solo debut album, Tengo Blues, co‑produced with Anson Funderburgh, showcases his songwriting, gritty vocals, and masterful guitar tone—earning admiration for its Tex‑Mex flair, creative arrangements, and undeniable groove. His tone and phrasing echo the discipline of Albert King, leaning into each note’s expressive power without overstaying its welcome. In concert, he dominates the stage with fiery modern Texas swagger and swing, having shared the spotlight with legends like Otis Taylor and appearing at major festivals such as the Big Blues Bender.

From sweat‑soaked Texas stages to international festival circuits, their sonic fusion of Latin funk, blues swagger, and soulful storytelling invites audiences deep into Jonn’s roots while pushing the blues into new dimensions—think fiery modern Texas swagger with every note soaked in rhythm and heart.
