Ep. 35_Dodging Beer Bottles_Ward Richmond
Episode 35
Thursday, 23 October, 2025
Ward Richmond was a member of the Dallas staple (dare I say 'infamous') bands, Slick 57 and Boys Named Sue. Slick 57 toured extensively throughout the country as well as overseas in Europe and Australia. He has since gone on to release 4 solo albums, two as The Warden and two under his own name. His 5th and newest album, "Big Addict Energy" drops this November. His latest single, "The Non-alcoholic Beer Drinkin Man" is out now streaming everywhere. In this episode we get into Ward's continuing sober journey and how he handles his big addict energy. We also hear the story of that time Ward started a hip hop group and opened for Ludacris, while almost getting booed off the stage and having beer bottles thrown at him. Be sure to check out Ward's own podcast, Truckin' On. Where he sits down with fellow musicians, entrepreneurs, spiritual seekers, and everyday legends to talk about life without filters. https://www.truckinon.com/ .
