Welcome Dorothy Gene Richards!

Event Details

Dorothy Gene Richards

Another bluegrass baby! Always welcome news, especially when a community has suffered loss.

Josh Richards, guitarist and vocalist for Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, and his wife, Amy, are celebrating the birth of their third child. Dorothy Gene Richards was born on September 30, weighing in at 6lbs 15oz, and stretching out to 19 1/2 inches long.

Richards says that she came in to this world “sometime before the IBMA awards show” that day, and that “Amy is doing great and Loretta Jo and Lucas love our new addition!”

It sounds like Josh is well on his way to a Richards family band.

Congratulations to Amy and Josh, and a great big Bluegrass Today welcome to Dorothy Gene!
