Richie played on some tracks for "In California Country".

Influenced by artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding, it's no wonder 
Richie Onori delivers consistently exciting shows. Scores of well-known
musicians have shared the stage and studio with him. The ultimate professional,
he 's worked with Keith Emerson, Robbie Kreiger, Larry Graham,
Rick Derringer, and Richie Sambora. He is sponsored by Audio Technica,
Avalon Design, Drum Workshop, Sabian cymbals, and Aquarian drumheads.

Richie Onori is a good example of a world-class drummer successfully making
a transition to front man, as did Phil Collins and Don Henley. He successfully
translated his mastery of rhythm and his musical discipline to guitar and vocals.
Harmonica, bass and percussion round out his musical skill. Transformation is
complete in his Blues Angel persona. With emotion and excitement, he takes
the audience on a journey with him; and they like where they 're going.
Richie Onori wants to make a positive difference in the world.
And you thought it was just good ol' rock 'n' roll. It's all that too.

Richie Onori, the Blues Angel delivers organic classic rock with a modern
approach. With creative arrangements and songs, solid grooves and
musicianship, he brings a lot to the stage. Through synergy with some of
the finest players in music today, Richie creates a sound with a life of
its own. Band members include Dickie Sims on Hammond organ (Eric Clapton),
Ben Shultz on guitar (Buddy Miles), Mark Meadows on bass (Lisa Loeb),
Kathrin Kraft on drums (Vixen), and John Greathouse on keyboards.
Aina Olson, Francesca Capasso and Angelina "AZ" Zweigle provide smoking
back-up vocals. A most-prestigious horn section includes Chris Mostert
on sax (Eagles) and Bill Lamb on trumpet (Tower of Power). With a
line-up like that, you always get a ripping performance.
