Richard Shindell with Erik Brandt

04/01/2007 - 7:30pm

While Richard Shindell is rightly considered one of the finest singer/songwriters of his generation, he's always had an eye (and ear) for great songs by other writers and has included cover songs in his live shows, placed the occasional cover on his albums and recorded with Lucy Kaplansky and Dar Williams the Cry Cry Cry disc, which celebrated the songs of contemporary writers. The 12 songs on Shindell’s brand new album, South of Delia (pre-release copies will be available at the show!), are drawn from a good mixture of sources including bona-fide legends (Dylan & Guthrie), excellent contemporary writers (Josh Ritter & Jeffrey Foucault) as well as a couple of traditional tunes. Expect lots of tracks from the new album, as well as favorites from the back catalog. Richard will be accompanied by a top-notch fiddler-mandolinist, and a back-up guitarist. Erik Brandt, formerly of Urban Hillbilly Quartet, will open for Richard.

An evening spent with the songs of Richard Shindell is like reading an volume of inspired short stories that capture the shadows and light of human existence. His interpretations of the songs of others are just as inspired!
