Joe Richter Band featuring Gabriel Harris Band

When Joe Richter hits the stage with his band, he looks like a friendly, totally Regular Joe. But he makes it instantly clear that he’s a pro at the keyboards, a soulful singer creating positive vibes and a writer of songs with shimmering melodies and refrains.

Richter’s own material focuses primarily on that timeless topic of love. He and his band’s arrangements travel a straight-ahead pop/rock road with frequent detours through the singer-songwriter space. His sweet spot is the sounds of the 1970s and early 1980s from the likes of Van Morrison, Stevie Nicks (yes he hits the notes) and John Waite.

Joe’s recorded output started with “Grace” in 2012, an acoustic album recorded in Nashville. His next recording was “Revival” in 2018 with his full band. The members of the Joe Richter Band besides Joe on vocals, keys and guitar are: John Calarco on drums, John Wheeler on bass, Dave Adler on keys and Joe Gorman on lead guitar.

Gabriel Harris

Gabriel Harris is a Milwaukee-born songwriter and musician whose sound blends soul, blues, and modern pop-rock. Drawing inspiration from artists like Allen Stone, John Mayer, and Jimi Hendrix, Gabriel’s music is marked by smooth, dynamic vocals and expressive, bluesy guitar work.

Backed by a powerhouse trio of drums, bass, and keys, Gabriel delivers a live show that’s as tight as it is soulful—a true meeting of musical minds.

When he’s not on stage, Gabriel is in the studio writing and recording new material—often collaborating with friends to create music that’s fresh, honest, and groove-driven. His recent single “Can’t Go On Like This” has been gaining airplay on local Milwaukee radio, and with more releases on the way, he’s just getting started.

With undeniable talent and a feel-good, soulful sound, Gabriel Harris and his band are ready to make their mark.
