SUMMARY:Richard Shindell in Concert and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Richard Shindell lives as both an immigrant and emigrant\, cros
 sing thresholds\, that informs his illumination of the human experience th
 rough narrative song. Shindell has inhabited a Zen Buddhist monastery and 
 busked in the streets of Paris.\nOriginally from New York\, now living in 
 Buenos Aires\, Argentina\, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures
 \, tell stories\, juxtapose ideas and images\, inhabit characters\, vividl
 y evoking entire worlds along the way and expanding our sense of just what
  it is a song may be. Meticulously recorded over three years in New York a
 nd Buenos Aires\, his most recent release\, Careless\, offered an ambitiou
 s\, luxurious\, full- length statement. Shindell immersed himself in the s
 tudio\, allowing the time and latitude to explore\, experiment\, take risk
 s—to play—as each of these eleven songs was given form and substance. 
 While his signature acoustic guitar style is used to good effect\, Careles
 s also found Shindell plugging in more. “The wider sonic and dynamic ran
 ge of the electric has been a real inspiration. Rejuvenating.”\nDuring t
 he pandemic\, Shindell stayed in Argentina\, out on the wide open Pampa\, 
 reading\, writing\, taking walks\, doing a little experimental recording\,
  and tending the garden. He now returns to the road for a limited number o
 f performances. Innovative\, original and occasionally spiritual\, Shindel
 l’s songs weave tales that interchangeably champion the downtrodden\, ex
 alt the disaffected or wax empathetic to those lost to society’s fringes
 . From lighthearted ballads and adulterous love songs\, to dirges and diat
 ribes that skillfully skewer politics\, prejudice\, war and religion\, to 
 the comic point-of-view of a cow stuck in a barbed wire fence\, he has a u
 nique ability to morph into the soul of the many and varied personalities 
 he casts as narrators in certain songs—veritable novellas framed in haun
 ting acoustic melodies.
