ABOUT

Whether headlining at premier venues in Nashville and beyond, performing solo in intimate rooms, or writing and recording original music, Richard Jacques is busy doing what he loves most: making music.

A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Jacques has earned Josie Music Award nominations for Tribute Artist of the Year (Sinatra) and Classic Country Song of the Year for his original song, “Without You.” Since relocating to Nashville from Texas in 2021, he has headlined the Sinatra Bar & Lounge, the Nashville City Club, and numerous other live-music venues throughout the region.

Through Richard Jacques Productions, he has built an impressive roster of tribute concerts and specialty productions spanning multiple generations of music. With a track record of sold-out performances, the company has presented 11 capacity crowd shows at the historic Franklin Theatre in just the past two years alone. Its productions have also appeared at respected venues including 3rd & Lindsley Nashville, City Winery Nashville, Harrah’s Casino, The Mulehouse in Columbia, Cookeville Performing Arts Center, and Williamson County Performing Arts Center.

The company’s diverse lineup includes The Twilight Train: Nashville's Ultimate Neil Diamond Tribute , several Rat Pack–style Sinatra tributes with his Frankly Jazzed band, One Hit Wonders, The Songs of ’74, Country Roads: A Celebration of the Legends of Country Music, and the Rock The Halls holiday show. Adding to that success, Jacques’ Barry Manilow tribute earned a 2026 Josie Music Award nomination for Tribute Band of the Year.

Beyond the concert stage, Jacques has performed in New York theater productions, earning leading roles as Danny Zuko in Grease and Johnny Cantone in The 1940s Radio Hour.

Originally from Maryland, Jacques is a Texas Tech University graduate who holds a B.A. in journalism. From the theater to the concert stage, from timeless tributes to original recordings, he continues to build a career around his lifelong passion for entertaining audiences from China to Music City — and thousands of stops in between.
