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.

Award-Winning Texas Blues
His album Tengo Blues, produced by Anson Funderburgh, earned national attention, a Blues Blast Award nomination, and the 2017 Blues Music Award for Best New Artist Debut.

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.
