Richard Gilewitz

What do Richard, rockabilly, and rock rats have in common?  That would be Michael Fix, the Aussie guitarist and Richard’s musical partner on Echoes From The Past.  This all-duet CD features many of Richard’s fan favorites completely re-styled with Fix’s cowboy-esque influence.  This one is for lighthearted fun and for the listener who is intrigued by the many faces a single tune can present depending on the pairing.

If after hearing a live show one was to ask “which CD should I buy??”…the answer is almost always Tasmania Live.  This is Richard full-on…jokes, stories, classical-on-steel, jazz, folk, pop, and whiplashing-gone-to-the races on 6- and 12-String recorded Down Under.  Close the windows and turn up the volume!!

Strings For A Season might have been appropriately titled “Seasonal Favorites for Grown Ups”. No squeaky voiced elves or sleigh bells here. Listeners are treated to Richard’s thoughtful presentation of familiar tunes lushly orchestrated with cello, violin, keyboard, tenor banjo, and resophonic guitar. Hit the repeat button, you won’t weary of these lovely, nuanced favorites. Fans of Synapse Collapse will love Strings For A Season.

August 20, 2005 would be a great setting for your time machine.  Live at 2nd Street Theater is a single live recording from that night’s performance in Bend Or during which Richard gets everything right.  No surprise there!  Enthralling the crowd with seemingly impossible musical dexterity interspersed with idiosyncratic stories, the night is kicked up yet another notch when Richard is joined by the masterful Radim Zenkl on mandolin for several tunes.  Don your helmet, buckle your seatbelt, enjoy the ride!
