Eric Richard's passion for music began in his youth. Library visits with his father, where they explored global sounds through vinyl rentals, fostered a lifelong love for diverse music that led him to a performing arts high school education and university opera training.
These experiences now culminate in the middle aged magic of The Six Foot Tide. Partnering with Billy Lockwood, Eric brings a rich soundtrack to the Lowcountry stage. Their music blends country, blues, and Americana influences, encompassing originals, carefully chosen covers, and lesser-known gems. The Six Foot Tide's focus? Bringing people together through the unifying power of music.
With three decades of professional music making informing his path, including touring for a year and a half with his band Rowdy, Billy Lockwood brings a world of experience to the stage. Billy is a virtuoso on the telecaster, a soulful writer, and the love he has for the world and for the human condition channels through his music.
