The live experience
What reaches the room
Richard Shindell is a renowned folk singer-songwriter whose storytelling reaches across generations. Born August 3, 1960, in Lakehurst, New Jersey, and raised near Port Washington, New York, he later based himself in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Shindell’s early momentum came when Joan Baez covered his songs and invited him on tour in 1997, a pivotal moment that helped launch his mature, guitar-driven storytelling style. He’s best known for intimate, character-driven narratives and arrangements centered on acoustic guitar and traditional folk textures.
