Guitarist/singer/songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist Richie Kotzen has signed a label deal with global music company BMG. His brand new solo studio album, entitled NOMAD will be released on September 27.
“After working with Richie on the successful Smith/Kotzen project” says Michael Kachko, BMG Senior Vice President, “we knew what an incredible songwriter and artist he is so we were excited to hear what he was working on as a solo artist. When he played us the new material, we knew immediately we wanted to be involved.”
Written, recorded and produced by Richie Kotzen, NOMAD features eight new tracks showcasing Kotzen’s multi- faceted musical styles with Kotzen playing almost every instrument on the album. On NOMAD, Kotzen expresses his diverse techniques and influences, from hard rock to 70s infused soul and funk, jazz fusion to R&B. It’s all intertwined with his own unique playing and songwriting approach, while retaining his ever-evolving signature style.
