If you saw the “Nuclear Fusion” show at the 2017 Mendocino Music Festival you know the energy this group can generate. Richie Goods truly has music in his DNA – “a master musician whose tenure with many of music’s greatest names clearly has worn off on him…”

One of the most versatile and accomplished bass players on the scene today, Richie, a native Pittsburgher, graduated from the Pittsburgh High School for Creative and Performing Arts and the prestigious jazz program at Berklee College in Boston. He studied with such luminaries as Ron Carter and Ray Brown. Richie came to prominence while touring and recording with the late Mulgrew Miller and credits him for much of his success.

Richie went on to make a name for himself through recording and touring with a variety of jazz and popular artists including Sting, The Headhunters, Louis Hayes and the Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band, Lenny White, Antonio Hart, Milt Jackson, Russell Malone, Whitney Houston, and Christina Aguilera.

Most recently Richie toured with popular jazz trumpeter, Chris Botti for over 5 years. Known for his versatility, Richie is equally at home with fusion, where his funk and gospel influences can be noted, and straight ahead. Richie tours the US and internationally extensively, including notable performances at the Monterrey, Montreal, Detroit and Jakarta Java Jazz Festivals as well as the Punta del Este International Jazz Festival.

His lengthy discography also includes Grammy award-winning and platinum albums of Alicia Keys and Common. Richie received critical acclaim for his first recording with Nuclear Fusion – “Richie Goods & Nuclear Fusion Live at the Zinc Bar” (2009), which was followed by “THREE RIVERS” in 2015. When not touring, Richie spends most of his time working on new music in his NY home.
