Beyond his exceptional guitar work, Richie also lends his powerful, raspy vocals to all his compositions. His passionate delivery infuses the lyrics with raw, visceral energy, conveying unfiltered emotion that cuts straight to the heart.
"Nomad" continues solidifying Kotzen's reputation as one of the most dynamic and compelling artists in the contemporary music scene. Fans can expect to be blown away by Kotzen's virtuosic musicianship, his soulful vocals, and his unwavering commitment to delivering a heartfelt lyrical statement.

Robert Cavuoto sat down with Richie to discuss his true passion, the creative process of songwriting. He explains the thrilling moment when something is brought into existence that didn't previously exist. Throughout his career, he has learned to trust his musical instincts, knowing when he has successfully conveyed his intended lyrical statement.
He describes this as an immensely freeing feeling, no longer beholden to the expectations or standards of others. He divulges that the creative wellspring has yet to fail him, and sometimes, he steps away from guitar playing for weeks, waiting for that spark of inspiration to strike. This is the reward that keeps him returning to his craft.

Norwegian rock n rollers Wig Wam just released their new album, “Out of the Dark,” this past Friday (February 10, 2023) via Frontiers Music Srl.
Coming on the heels of renewed and enthusiastic interest in the band thanks to their classic song Do Ya Wanna Taste It being the theme for HBOs Peacemaker series, “Out of the Dark” sees an extremely talented band feeling reinvigorated and inspired. “Out of the Dark” is a testament to Åge Sten Nilsen [vocals], Trond Holter [guitarist], Bernt Jansen [bassist], and Øystein Andersen [drums] rebellious spirits to create and grow constantly.
The band returns with a diverse, attitude-drenched collection of songs that their faithful followers have come to expect while pushing their signature sound forward. Eleven maximum rock songs like Uppercut Shazam, Forevermore, and Out of the Dark showcase Tronds fiery guitar playing, Åge versatile vocal strength, Bernts incendiary roaring bass, and Øystein monstrous percussive and stylistic playing.
This new music fits perfectly alongside their most popular songs, which have become the cornerstone of their live performances. To order “Out of the Dark” or purchase tickets to their US tour, please visit HERE (https://www.wigwamofficial.com/).
