“Richrath Project 3:13 – The Music of REO Speedwagon” brings fans back to the electrifying early years of REO Speedwagon while honoring the legacy of legendary guitarist, songwriter, and founding force Gary Richrath.
Fronted by Michael Jahnz, who spent more than a decade touring alongside Gary Richrath himself, the band delivers an authentic celebration of the music that helped define classic rock. Together, Jahnz and Richrath performed fan-favorite REO Speedwagon hits, original Richrath material, and songs they wrote together, continuing Gary’s musical vision long after his departure from REO.
Today, Richrath Project 3:13 carries that legacy forward with powerful live performances featuring the iconic hits fans know and love alongside deeper cuts longtime REO fans rarely get to hear live. From “Ridin’ the Storm Out” to “157 Riverside Avenue,” “Golden Country,” and more, the show captures the raw energy, musicianship, and hard-rocking spirit of REO Speedwagon’s classic era.
In addition to celebrating Gary Richrath’s enduring influence on rock music, Michael Jahnz continues to release new music inspired by their collaboration, including the acclaimed album LA Is Mine, featuring some of the final recordings connected to Richrath’s legacy.
More than a tribute, Richrath Project 3:13 is a heartfelt musical journey through the songs, stories, and spirit of one of classic rock’s most unforgettable eras.
