Founder member and guitar player Randy lived and played in
England and the USA before he reunited his German band Randy
Rich & The Poor Boys. The trio originally formed in 1997, and he
brought his line-up back together again in September 2003.

The line-up is now better than ever! All of the three members are
able to play at least two instruments - and so even as a trio they
can create different styles from 50s Country to Rockabilly and
Rock'n'Roll. The boys play well-known songs, obscure late 50s
songs, instrumentals and original material. It's also important to
mention their polished harmony singing.
They have around 300
songs in their repertoire, including over 50 Randy Rich & The Poor Boys original.

The trio has toured 13 countries in Europe as well as 20 States
of the USA, making new fans everywhere they play. Highlights
have been performances in Hemsby, England and Las Vegas, USA.
1999 saw the release of their first EP was published on Part
Records which was sold out within a year. Different songs have
also been appeared on several compilations albums, and recently
their own first long-player was issued by Rhythm Bomb Records.

The skill and reputation of these musicians have brough them the
opportunity to back up original Rockabilly legends such as Jack
Earls, Glenn Honeycutt (both Sun Records), Janis Martin (RCA)
and Alvis Wayne.

At their gigs you will be impressed of their obvious love of the
music and the attention to detail. Original instruments,
microphones, amplifiers and authentic clothes are the trademark
of the trio - but the most important thing is the music that sounds
as fresh and lively as it did more than 50 years ago! If you have
the opportunity to see them play, be sure not to miss it!

The line-up:
Randy Richter: lead guitar, vocals, harmony vocals, piano
Michael Kielas: bass, vocals, harmony vocals, drums
'Red' Martin: drums, acoustic rhythm guitar, electric guitar
