Rich Sheldon is a Singer, Songwriter & Guitarist that grew up in western Pennsylvania, graduated from Florida State and spent the majority of his life in West L.A. between Venice beach & Santa Monica. It was there that he became a professional music performer, commercial actor and honed his musical style of Americana folk & roots rock. Classic rock legends from The Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, Bob Marley and many others have remained a constant influence throughout his life. Beginning in Los Angeles beach cities to now the Tampa Bay area and beyond, he has maintained a musical career as perhaps one of the hardest gigging musicians, performing either solo or with his band and accompanied duets, for well over a decade.

The Rich Sheldon Band brings soulful vocals to original rock songs from ballads to blues, grooves, and classic rock covers that jam and serve up feel-good music. The band line-up currently consists of legendary guitarist Steve Connelly (former guitarist of Roger McGuinn of the Byrds), Damon Navari on drums, Jeff Dilly on bass, and Matt Frick on keys (and guest bassists Mark Messina & Eric Riddles). The boys recently gave a stellar performance as a Rolling Stones tribute in St. Pete at the Ale & Witch and played the “Sunshine Get Down” festival in Brooksville, FL and the “Grateful Gathering” in Lakeland,
