In 2018 Richard teamed up with life-long friends, Diana A. McCaffrey and Kathleen Hogan Manuel to form The Jolly Golliards, a musical trio specializing in medieaval music. The group performed for the White Lotus Spa Medieaval Feast in 2019 and 2020. The trio went on after that to expand their repertoire to include Irish and eclectic Christmas music, popular music and originals and performed at events for the Rose Theatre Co under the name The Gamut. On occasion other musicians join in, thus expanding the size of the group: Randy Latimr on violin for Rose Theatre Co's performances of Little Match Girl and The Gift of the Magi in 2019 and Molly Nugent Cameron on vocals for the recording of "Threads Unsewn" in 2024. THe Gamut has also been featured on several episodes on the Rose Rhapsody podcast.
