The Mighty BossCats, led by acclaimed singer-guitarist Richard Townend, are one the finest Americana and blues bands across South-east England. Since their formation some 15 years ago Richard and the band have released 17 albums either solo or band projects. His work has earned critical acclaim and multiple nominations in the British Blues Awards for Original Song and Album (2012–2016, 2018), with several albums reaching No.1 in the Independent British Blues Chart. Richard has performed nationally and internationally—both solo and with his band—and has led songwriting workshops across the UK. Often described as a prolific writer, he has recorded well over 150 songs and penned more than 300. His style draws favorable comparisons to JJ Cale, Chris Rea, and Dire Straits, yet remains distinctly his own.
