About Richard X. Heyman: Richard started banging on things when he was five, got a full drum kit when he was seven, and was astounding audiences with his chops by the time he was twelve. He picked up guitar and piano in his teens, which was also when original songs started popping into his head. Richard went solo in his twenties, although he’s found time to lend his amazing drumming skills to such great artists as Brian Wilson, Billy Squier, Link Wray, Jonathan Richman and the Left Banke’s Michael Brown, composer of Walk Away Renee. He is currently the drummer and contributing songwriter for legendary garage rock band, The Doughboys (www.thedoughboysnj.com). He’s also played guitar and drums for Mary Weiss (of the Shangri-Las), and keyboards for the legendary Ben E. King. His influences are as varied as Bernstein to The Beatles, Richard Rodgers to the Rascals, and the Blues to the Byrds. On the live front, Richard leads his own band on guitar and keyboards. He is currently at work on his eighth album, tentatively called Tiers. Richard resides in New York City with Nancy and their family of felines.
