Richard Shindell is an American folk singer currently living in Argentina.
Shindell's songwriting often involves storytelling from a first-person point of view: from an INS officer and illegal immigrant in "Fishing," to a World War II soldier in "Sparrow's Point," to a Confederate Drummerboy in "Arrowhead."
Shindell collaborated with Dar Williams, and Lucy Kaplansky to form the group Cry Cry Cry. On their eponymous 1998 album, Cry Cry Cry covered an eclectic mix of songwriters, from the famous R.E.M. to the unknown James Keelaghan. The trio toured in support of their album, but later resumed their solo careers and have not mentioned plans for future work together.
