Touted as "one of the best guitar players in
the world, a voice on par with some of the greatest
rock/soul singers and creative songwriting, Richie
Kotzen has had an incredible journey in the world
of music. In 2006 as a solo artist, Kotzen was the
opening act for the legendary Rolling Stones A

It all started at the age of seven when Richie
learned to play the electric guitar in his hometown
of Reading, PA. He formed his first band at the age
of twelve and played live gigs around PA, Delaware
and New Jersey. When he turned eighteen he

recorded the cd Native Tongue with the band and
ventured on a world tour in support of the album.

After POISION, Kotzen continued recording
albums on various labels including Geffen, Shrapnel
and JVC until 1999 when he was invited by jazz
legend Stanley Clarke to form the band VERTU. They
recorded a self titled album for SONY and spent the
summer in Europe playing the Montreux Jazz and
other festivals. "It was an honor and a great
experience to be in a band with Clarke and the
other members." States Richie.
