Richfield

Late-1970s rock band from Orange Park, featuring two former members of 1960s teen group the Daybreakers, Page Matherson (guitar) and Mac McCormick (drums). The group benefited from having Lynyrd Skynyrd member Billy Powell’s younger brother, Ricky, as its bassist. Through its Skynyrd connection, the group was able to hook up with Muscle Shoals, Ala., producer Jimmy Johnson. Johnson produced a single for the band, a novelty tune titled “Disco Sucks,” which was picked up by Capitol. The band feverishly worked with Jacksonville producer/engineer/keyboardist Hal Hansford to put together some new demos that would impress Capitol; the label, however declined to pick up its option to commit to an album deal. The group continued touring throughout the South until about 1982, when it finally fizzled.

  1. Hello,

    I used to date Mac McCormick way back in the late 60′s.
    I went to school in Orange Park with Page.

    Would anyone know what became of Mac . Just curious.

    Thanks
