John Del Toro Richardson
Get ready for a night of Texas blues, Tex-Mex soul, roots music, and fiery guitar as John Del Toro Richardson takes over the Empress Marquee Club.
Richardson is a powerhouse singer, guitarist, and songwriter known for blending deep blues tradition with Latin flavor, Texas swagger, soul, and groove. His sound moves effortlessly between slow-burning blues, funky rhythms, West Coast jazz influence, and south-of-the-border originals.
Richardson has also toured with acclaimed blues artist Otis Taylor and built a reputation for blistering guitar work, soulful vocals, modern Texas swing, and live performances full of fire and personality.
Expect a set that moves through blues, soul, roots, Tex-Mex grooves, and hard-driving guitar, all delivered with the kind of confidence and grit that makes a small club room feel electric.
The Empress Marquee Club is the perfect setting for this show: intimate, stylish, and close enough to feel every note. Come early for dinner and drinks, then settle in for an unforgettable night of world-class blues guitar and soulful vocals.
