Riff West is alive & well & healthy in the Orlando area. After his 10-11 year stint with Danny Joe Brown's original Molly Hatchet Band, Lonesome Dave Peverett of FOGHAT invited Riff to be his bassist on tour for the next 6-7 years.
A non-smoking, non-drinking, vegan (or, at least vegetarian) most of his life, Riff has sadly outlived many of his dearest musical friends & family.
He co-owns one of the south's largest backline companies (Downtown Sound) with his friends Greg & Tina Huber, and cares for his 85 yr old widowed mother.
He still loves to play bass, occasionally stopping in for informal jams with old friends at venues i.e. The Alley in Sanford, or the Jam Inn in Mount Dora, or other places.
Riff also is always first to volunteer for benefits for animal rights/protection as well as benefits for fellow musicians in times of need (e.g. Mark Carter & Beeper MacKenzie).
An all around good guy in the most sincere sense, Riff is respected & loved by many. He and his 'other half' (Terri) live happily & peacefully in the country on the Wekiva River in Seminole County.
He performs from time to time with some of his former Molly Hatchet and/or Foghat buddies, Pat Travers, White Witch, etc., under "Riff West & Friends."
