Rich Atkinson is a Narrative Americana singer/song writer from the Southwest of England. Story songs with a jazz influence and a lyrical twist are Rich’s speciality, in the style of Tom Waits, Randy Newman and the acoustic side of Springsteen.

“Who would I describe Narrative Americana artist? People like Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Neil Young, Leonard Cohan, Bruce Springsteen etc.”

“I dig lyrics! whilst I am a singer and a musician, I really see myself as the narrator of a story and I kinda know when I’ve done my job when somebody wants to talk to me about a line in a song or the audience get a gag in the lyrics.”

Rich is joined by Rick Quintin on Tenor saxophone and Ralf Dorrell on Double Bass, currently the only two permanent members of ‘the Billionaires’
