Richard “Daddy” Love - Bio

Richard “Daddy” Love is a local singer/songwriter. An advocate for local music, Daddy Love produces and performs in Singer / Songwriter Showcases designed to be an outlet for local songwriters to perform their original songs at Borders Books & other Norman venues.

Daddy Love’s CD “Live from Norman” was recorded live at these open mic shows.

Daddy Love  calls his musical style Rural Acoustic Folk Rhythm & Blues. He sings original songs about Oklahoma life with an aggressive acoustic style.  Whether they're about the blues, train depots, beat-up pickup trucks, lost loves or fishin' with grampa, Daddy's songs come from the heart and stick to the roof of your mouth! "I'm down at the depot, I'm just biding my time, I'm waiting for the girl who, just left someone else behind..." - from Daddy's blues tune Down at the Depot.
