Richard Shindell – 10/23

Richard Shindell lives as both an immigrant and emigrant, crossing thresholds that inform his illumination of the human experience through narrative song. He has inhabited a Zen Buddhist monastery and busked in the streets of Paris. Originally from New York and now living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Shindell writes songs that paint pictures, inhabit characters, and vividly evoke entire worlds.

Meticulously recorded over three years in New York and Buenos Aires, his most recent release, Careless, is an ambitious full-length statement. Shindell immersed himself in the studio, allowing time to explore, experiment and take risks—as each of these eleven songs was given form and substance. While his signature acoustic guitar style is used to good effect, Careless also found Shindell plugging in more. "The wider sonic and dynamic range of the electric has been a real inspiration. Rejuvenating."

During the pandemic Shindell stayed in Argentina on the wide open Pampa—reading, writing, taking walks, doing experimental recording, and tending the garden. He now returns to the road for a limited number of performances. Innovative, original and occasionally spiritual, his songs weave tales that champion the downtrodden, exalt the disaffected, or show empathy for those on society's fringes. His range includes lighthearted ballads and adulterous love songs, dirges and diatribes that skewer politics, prejudice, war and religion, and even the comic point-of-view of a cow stuck in a barbed wire fence.
