<p class="MsoNormal">Celebrated American rock icon Richie Sambora has become known throughout his remarkable 30-year career for his raw vocals, indelible songwriting and world-class guitar playing. As both a solo artist and a founding member of multi-platinum,
Grammy-winning band Bon Jovi, Richie has <span style="color:black">sold over 130 million albums worldwide and has co-written over 20 Top 40 hits and 11 Top 10 hits, including “Livin’ On A Prayer,” “You Give Love A Bad Name” and “Wanted Dead or Alive.” He was
inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2009.</span> In addition to his work with Bon Jovi, he has released three acclaimed solo albums that have highlighted a more personal and intimate side to Richie’s songwriting: 1991’s
<i>Stranger in This Town</i>,, and 1998’s <i>Undiscovered Soul</i> and 2012’s <i>
Aftermath of the Lowdown</i>, which spawned the powerful single “Every Road Leads Home To You.” Richie is continuously lending his vocals to important causes and current affairs that resonate deeply with him, whether it be the Hurricane Sandy relief effort
which affected his home state of New Jersey or taking part in fundraisers and galas to help support issues regarding the environment, homelessness, illness and music education.
