Nils Lofgren
How many artists can say they have played with Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Ringo? He is a successful artist in his own right releasing over 25 solo albums during his career. His work as a session man is equally impressive. His latest release is "Blue With Lou". Check out his web site here.
Graham Parker
Graham Parker burst into the new wave scene in 1975 with his first album “Howlin’ Wind” produced by Nick Lowe. Some 25 albums later he is still making interesting, vital records including his most recent Cloud Symbols. Check out his web site here.
Richard Shindell
Originally from New York, now dividing his time between Buenos Aires, Argentina and New York's Hudson Valley, Richard Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, juxtapose ideas and images, inhabit characters, vividly evoking entire worlds along the way and expanding our sense of just what it is a song may be. From his first record, Sparrow's Point (1992) to his current release, Careless (September 2016), Shindell has explored the possibilities offered by this most elastic and variable of cultural confections: the song.
