Press
Tummy Talk; Mr Richard
Cookie Magazine, April-May 2007
"Richard Peeples has a gruff singing voice that suggests he is more cartoon character than human, but that's just part of his charm. On his second CD, he lathers his native Louisiana groove and gumption onto songs about dancing skunks and stolen toes."
Sweet Relief
Orlando Sentinel, September 24, 2006 - Jim Abbott
"Parents' suffering ends, kids are happy. Insipid and inane have gone the way of the dinosaurs. Barney is really a dinosaur now..."
If I hear that one more time...
Orlando Sentinel, July 6, 2006 - Mary Ann Horne
"Our friend Mr. M., father of a baby and a preschooler, suggests we post something about 'music kids will love that won't drive parents crazy.'
30 Seconds with... Mr. Richard
Orlando Sentinel, June 9, 2006 - Rebecca Swain Vadnie
"Songs about tummy talk, underwear and skunks on Old MacDonald's farm? What kind of concert is this? It's a Mr. concert, that's what."
A chat with Mr. Richard
Orlando Sentinel, June 3, 2006 - Sandra Pedicini
"If you're a parent in Central Florida, there's a good chance you've heard Richard Peeples, better known as Mr. Richard, play around town."
Musician Tells Children They Might as Well Sing
East Orlando Sun, July 6, 2006 - Maya Lazarovitz
"With that silly refrain, singer-storyteller Richard Peeples sends a clear message to an audience of bright-eyed children, while strumming an acoustic guitar."
Parenting Picks Ages 5-8
Parenting Magazine, May 2005 - Erika Milvy
"Richard Peeples' skewered melodies, groovin' guitar, and zany lyrics about pigs, fish, and underwear rival the sound of kid-fave They Might Be Giants."
Entertainer Captures Children's Attention
The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) May 15, 2005 - Matt Woo
"The wide-eyed kids sat on the edge of the multi-colored carpet, extending their arms and pretending to drive imaginary cars."
Start Your Year On The Right Note
The New York Post, January 28, 2005 - Billy Heller
"It's hard to pinpoint trends in children's music - but that hasn't stopped us from coming up with our own spin on what's happening in a field that's growing as fast as the kids themselves.
Storyteller Returns Home to Perform
The Daily Corinthian (Corinth, MS) June 4, 2004 - Jebb Johnson
"After five years as a professional storyteller at the Orlando Public Library, Richard Peeples is coming home for a performance at the Corinth Library."
