Vile Richard is comprised of singer/songwriters Olaf Alders and Andrew Vanhorn, joined by a quirky collective of musical friends and neighbours. Alders and Vanhorn have been seen and heard across Eastern Canada, performing live on TV and radio from Hamilton to Halifax. Notable venues include Toronto’s CityTV, ATV/CTV in Atlantic Canada and Ottawa’s “The New RO”. Overseas radio play includes BBC Radio 2′s Bob Harris Country and Bryan Burnett’s Brand New Country on BBC Scotland. The band has also written and performed music for indie film and stage productions as well as performing improvised pieces for live theatre at Second City.
