Resume / Bio:
Richie Trotter: Country Heart, Rock N’ Roll Soul
“I Don’t Wanna Waste Any More Time…” belts out Richie Trotter in the opening line of Better Late Than Never, the debut album from Richie Trotter and the Motor Company. It’s a rallying cry that defines his journey. After years as a powerhouse drummer in Nashville, driving the pulse of bands opening for stars like Eric Church, Kane Brown, and hip-hop icon Nelly, Richie stepped into the spotlight to lead with his commanding vocals and heartfelt songwriting.
Hailing from the backwoods of North Carolina, Richie grew up steeped in Country and Rock ’n’ Roll, his roots shining through in every note. He blends the raw storytelling of Tom Petty, the polish of Ed Sheeran, and the versatility of Zac Brown Band into unforgettable sets. As a dynamic frontman, Richie captivates with his powerful voice and magnetic stage presence, delivering soulful originals and crowd-pleasing covers. Armed with his acoustic or rhythm guitar, he crafts loops on the spot, turning his one-man act into a full, vibrant sound, or leading his band with infectious energy. Behind the drum kit, his impeccable timing and driving rhythms ignite every performance. Whether solo or with a band, Richie’s a standout for intimate venues, festivals, or private events.
With an accent as rich as sweet tea and a style that’s uniquely his own, Richie Trotter delivers shows that linger long after the last note. Book him today for a performance that’ll leave your audience buzzing, blending artistry, leadership, and an unforgettable mix of Country heart and Rock ‘n’ Roll soul.
