Rick & Andy and the Prince Myshkins

Rick & Andy (Rick Libert and Andy Buck), a NYC-based gay singing duo who perform folk, acoustic, and original music, team up with the Prince Myshkins (Rick Burkhardt and Andy Gricevich), gay folk singers and political satirists based out of Madison, Wisconsin.

Rick Libert and Andy Buck began singing together in Rick’s basement after discovering an old Weavers album. Since 1995, they have performed as Rick & Andy at the People’s Voice Cafe, Dixon Place, the Baggot Inn, Back Fence, Sun Music Company, Rose’s Turn, and other venues. They have been featured on Oscar Brand’s long-running WNYC radio program Folk Song Festival and — for Manhattan cable television — Joel Landy’s Songs of Freedom and Andy Humm and Ann Northrop’s Gay USA. Onstage, they have been guests in Jeff Weiss’s Obie-winning serial musical Hot Keys. Their debut CD Going Places (2005) is available for purchase at: www.cdbaby.com/rickandy.

Rick Burkhardt and Andy Gricevich are folk singers and political satirists, who together make up the amazing Prince Myshkins. Rick plays accordion and sings; Andy plays guitar and sings. They met in 1995 at the University of Illinois, where Andy studied literature and philosophy and Rick studied music composition. They have toured nationally to sing at antiwar demonstrations, union rallies, schools, coffeehouses, living rooms, community centers, and major urban intersections. Their songs have been played on Pacifica Radio’s Democracy Now! and NPR’s Morning Edition. This gig is part of a January Northeast tour that includes stops in Boston, Philadelphia, and other cities. They have recorded two CDs, The Prince Myshkins’ Shiny Round Object (2000) and Total Myshkin Awareness (2004).
