Country Music’s brightest newcomer Jackie Richards is one of the most versatile performers in Canada today. She has graced the stage with many great acts such as Doc Walker, JamieWarren, The Mercey Brothers, The Good Brothers, John Landry, Diane Chase and Gil Grand to name just a few. In 2002, Jackie won the regional Country 93/CMT Discovery Contest in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada. This was the spark that lit the fire for Jackie’s debut CD “I Got On This Train To Ride”. The single release of the track “Fall” in March of 2003, received great reviews and airplay in Canada, the USA and overseas. Jackie has been exposed to all types of music from Broadway Show Tune to Rock and Roll, but her first love is Country Music.
