On Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 8PM, the Inter-Media Art Center (also known as “IMAC”) in Huntington, Long Island will present a concert with folk guitarist and singer/songwriter RICHARD SHINDELL and OLLABELLE.
RICHARD SHINDELL is not just another buzz singer-songwriter who has caught the ear of a few distinguished followers; he possesses that somewhat enigmatic vocal delivery that seemingly imparts wisdom and gravitas with every word. RICHARD SHINDELL has been described as a “master builder of songs, yet always leading listeners towards the emotional essence of the moment or character he is evoking”. Still more his songwriting has reached that plateau where he sounds as if each song has come ready tailored with an array of musical arrangements supplied on delivery.
Richard Shindell is a self described “misanthropic ex-seminarian laspe-Bhuddist Agnostic for Jesus” who already boasts an awesome reputation in the songwriter community. This is not your father’s folk music! Richard Shindell’s assured authorial sweep presents him as the master of the post Bob Dylan/ Randy Newman/ Paul Simon and Richard Thompson generation.
