Richie Kotzen

[bcanini]

I guess I forgot about this guy and had no idea he could sing as well as he does. I always knew he was a very good guitarist but was surprised at his voice.

Check it out.

Good singer, great guitarist. It's a shame he's not gotten more exposure, and some apparently only know him as 'the dude who got kicked out of Poison'...

 

[AnthonyL]

Guy has Mad talent.... Still don't understant why he's not a much bigger star. Although, he did open up for the Stones on a recent tour. So, I guess that does count for something...

 

[John II]

Love him!! One of my all time favorites. Great song writer, player and singer.

 

[clothwiring]

I think he's big in South America and the far east.

 

[Brad Scott]

Grew up in the same town as him. He used to play in a local band called Arthur's Museum back in the day. Quite an arrogant guy then. Despite that, I like his voice/playing.

 

[Leonardo]

I like his solo stuff.

 

[Jimmy James]

I saw him this past Saturday night. He's been at it for many years. Total package player.

You know he's good if Billy Sheehan would tour with him.

Maybe he needs to write a John Mayer-esque type of tune to get the recognition he deserves. ??

 

[robelinda2]

Sensational player, always plays with taste.

 

[Melodic Dreamer]

I have all of his cd's. lol
Yes, I really do!

 

[buddaman71]

Extremely talented, soulful player and singer.
Met him a few times and was always cool.

This guy is a singer's singer, a bad ass guitar player and a great writer. He really has a soulful vibe. Why isn't he a superstar? I love a lot if his stuff. Mother's Head Family Reunion really turned my head years ago.

 

[akihiro]

He's great. Though I don't hear much about him anywhere. He definitely doesn't get enough recognition.

 

[Jimmy James]

He's great. Though I don't hear much about him anywhere. He definitely doesn't get enough recognition.

I think he needs to get a better publicist. I know a guy in his genre won't rule the world but his material falls right beside The Black Crowes and a lot of other soul-rock artists.

I just interviewed him for a forth coming issue of PG. He's an interesting guy and an amazing guitarist.

 

[Dion]

One of my favorites, an acoustic one.

Dude's got the voice to go with the chops! Rare.

[Shane S]

I was at this performance and he was bad ass! Why he is not a superstar is beyond me.

 

[guitarlix]

I'm a huge fan, both of the voice and of the guitar and have several of his solo CDs. (he sings a lot on his solo CDs)

They're brilliant!

Has a style all of his own and I'll never understand the lack of popularity. Guy still looks like a model, plays like a guitar god, has a great set of pipes and comes up with great songs.

Definitely needs different kind of marketing to make it big.

I'll always love him tearing it up on "Burn" w Mr. Big.
