The World Needs More Music

Music has always been another way I tell stories. Whether performing solo, as part of a duo with Joey Ethridge, or with Steve Westbrook and the Banned, I blend songwriting and multi-instrumental performance—guitar, mandolin, ukulele, keyboard, and cajón—to create music that connects deeply with audiences.

Music as a Mission

Richelle believes music has the power to reach where words alone cannot. Through storytelling and song, she brings music into spaces that need it most—classrooms, recovery groups, prisons, and underserved communities—creating moments of connection, reflection, and hope.
