(Richard is graduating from Bismarck High School in 1968, Richard Torrance made his way to California in pursuit of

the contemporary music recording industry.

Richard’s rst attempt at recording his own music attracted the attention of Denny Cordell and Leon Russell, who owned

Shelter Records. Richard signed his rst recording contract with Shelter in 1972 and began recording his rst of seven

albums, “Eureka”. Along with recording came the organization of his rst touring band by the same name. Eureka toured

nationally and was the opening act for many classic rock and roll concerts.

His second album, “Belle of the Ball,” sold well and established Richard as a viable performer and touring act. Richard

impressed the head of A&R for Capitol Records and was signed to his second major record contract in 1976. “Bareback”,

his rst album for Capitol, had his most famous song “Rio De Janeiro Blue.” “Rio” has been recorded by more than thirty

artists worldwide and is still played on many smooth jazz radio stations as a classic.

Richard performed in Las Vegas for twelve years; he worked in nearly every casino lounge and broke into main

showroom productions. He played in two dierent country shows in the Aladdin Hotel and the Golden Nugget.

He later moved on to cruise ship entertainment with Royal Caribbean Cruise line.

Richard returned to his homeland in 2004. He taught in the

school system as an artist-in-residence, played several

concerts, and mentored young musicians. Richard also

became music director for Trinity Lutheran Church in

2005 and later at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church as

worship and music minister.

Still making his home in Bismarck with his wife,

Julie, and their two daughters, Richard continues to

play for music events and has reconnected with

one of his early loves, horseback, riding the prairies

of North Dakota).
