Lucy Kaplansky and Richard Shindell are delighted to announce a limited run of shows together in the Northeast in October 2023, a reboot of concerts canceled at the beginning of the global pandemic over three years ago. The two songwriters, both with successful solo careers, have been singing together for over 30 years. First meeting when Richard hired Lucy to sing harmony on his first album, they became life-long friends and mutual fans. In addition to singing harmonies on virtually all of each other’s solo albums, they’ve collaborated on two celebrated projects. In 1998 they teamed up with their friend Dar Williams to record Cry Cry Cry.

In 2015 Lucy and Richard recorded an album of duets, Tomorrow You’re Going. The two voices have always somehow understood each other. When it comes to dynamics and the actual harmonies (which intervals, and when), they put their faith in their vocal sympatico, in which one voice instinctively finds its resolution (or intentional irresolution!) in the other. The simple pleasure of blending voices has been a constant for each throughout all the twists and turns of their respective careers. For these upcoming concerts, Lucy and Richard will perform songs from the aforementioned projects as well as material from their individual repertoires.
