"We first met Richard at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, Missouri on August 16, 2005.  What we
noticed immediately was Richard's natural musical abilities and his strong voice.  Richard is an
excellent singer.  At the Oklahoma State Fair in Oklahoma City, OK I could tell that Richard had
done his homework. He won first place in the contest.  Richard has excellent command of the stage
and is able to capture the audience with his wit, humor, and stage presence.  We look forward to
working with him again.

"I am so impressed with Rich Vickers and his music.  
What an amazing and beautiful voice!
I enjoyed listening and watching your tribute to
Elvis!  You have the God given talent that makes
people want to listen to all your music.  I know you
were awesome as the Pharaoh in Joseph...I loved the
musical and had the opportunity to see it on stage
when I lived in Orlando.  I only wish I could have
seen your interpretation. I look forward to working
with you in the near future!"
