American Songbook I Meet the Artists

Based in Asbury Park, New Jersey, neo-folk singer and guitarist Rick Barryexplores the terrain of failed love affairs and paralyzing self-doubt in hisnew acoustic recording, Curses, Maledictions and Harsh Reiterations. Hiswillingness to confront these states of inner sadness and emotional inertia—albeit with dashes of wry humor—are reminiscent of LeonardCohen and John Gorka songscapes. Produced by New York Guitar Festivalfounder and Artistic Director David Spelman, the album showcases sevenof Mr. Barry’s original songs. It also features three-time Grammy winnerLarry Campbell on fiddle and mandolin, jazz cellist Erik Friedlander, andbassist Chris Kuffner, who’s known for his work in the Regina Spektor andIngrid Michaelson bands.
