Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/ Luck Media & Marketing) - The Charismatic Country-Rock Singer/Songwriter, Whose Latest Single 'Make It into Heaven' Takes a
Giant Leap into the Top 3 on PowerSource's Christian Country Top 100 Chart, Will Join
Morgan for Six Dates in July and August
Earlier this year, Steve Richard's infectious song 'Stomp' became an anthem for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), rocking the house across the country and on the air as wrestlers entered the ring.
Now, the charismatic country-rock singer/songwriter (www.steverichardmusic.com), who is joining genre superstar Craig Morgan on the road for six dates in July and August, has a new, loftier stomping ground-PowerSource's Christian Country Top 100 Chart, where his latest single 'Make It Into Heaven' takes a quantum 21-slot leap into the Top 5.
The track placed at No 24 in June and is No 3 on the July chart, just behind hits by Tracy Lawrence and Kathy Joy Bell and ahead of Del Way, Tommy Brandt and Phil Vassar.
Richard is set to open shows for Morgan starting at the Crawford Country Fair in Cuba, Missouri on July 18 and wrapping at the Capitol Arts Theatre in Bowling Green, Kentucky on August 27.
On June 19, Richard shot a video for 'Stomp' in Watertown, just outside of Nashville. The clip's director, Roman White of Revolution Pictures, has done videos for numerous country superstars, including Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift.
'Stomp,' one of the tracks from Richard's 2008 self-titled debut album, was written and produced by John Rich of the superstar duo Big & Rich.
Richard's dynamic stage presence and trademark gritty vocals reflect years of paying dues, and he enters the fray with a scorching track record as a seasoned vet on the road. At one point performing 100 club dates a year, Richard has also toured the Midwest and South as both a headliner and opening act for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dickey Betts, .38 Special, Junior Brown, Halfway to Hazard, Montgomery Gentry and Van Zant.
In the summer of 2008, he toured with rising country band Whiskey Falls.
In crafting his multi-faceted self-titled debut album, Richard also worked with producer/engineer Michael Bradford (Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker, Travis Tritt) and Grammy Award winning composer Jeff Silbar (Alabama, Janie Fricke, Bette Midler).
