Richard Price plays Guitar, sings background, and occasionally a bit of saxophone and keyboards, too. Richard grew up in Texas under the spell of the great players from there such as Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughn, Eric Johnson as well as the L.A. cats like Larry Carlton and Robben Ford. He graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Music Composition, after which he spent many years in the Home Entertainment business before resuming Guitar playing and teaching in the Atlanta area. 

Richard has been a member of THUNDERGYPSY since 2015. In August 2017 THUNDERGYPSY competed in and won the Atlanta Blues Challenge. From there, they went on to participate in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN where they played on the legendary stage at B.B. King's Blues Club. Between the Atlanta challenge and the IBC in Memphis, they moved into the recording studio and created their self-titled debut album. In 2022 they recorded their second album “Ladies of the Blues”.

In 2024 work has began on the third album at Virtual Adrenaline Productions. In addition to tracks from the band, this one will also feature acoustic “Unplugged” songs featuring vocalist Heather Statham and Richard in a duo format. This album will be the first THUNDERGYPSY record all original songs.

Richard is also working with Virtual Adrenaline Productions as a member of the house band and songwriting team known as the Virtual Adrenaline Band.
