Ringo Starr: Richard Starkey
built 178 days ago
Ringo and His All-Starrs exude the love, joy and phenomenal playing that shine from the Starr at the center. The shows draw fans of all ages and sizes, as parents and their kids (some grown, some not) come to enjoy a summer night out with fantastic music, performed by musicians who love to play. The All-Starr line-up includes: Edgar Winter, Sheila E., Rod Argent (of the Zombies), Richard Marx, Hamish Stuart (of the Average White Band) and Billy Squier.

When Ringo was born on July 7, 1940 in Liverpool, his parents, Richard Starkey and Elsie Gleave decided that Ringo should be named after his father. But his parents’ marriage did not last and Ringo and his mother had to move to a smaller house because of financial constraints. His mother remarried a few years later and Harry Graves became Ringo’s step father. It was Harry who bought Ringo his first drum set.
