An Evening with Larry Rand & Nicole Mendyk
Larry Rand's roots are showing. His Chicago roots. He gave California a try, but he missed Chicago's tranquil political scene...our cool, dry summers...and the excitement generated by our playoff-bound baseball teams. (Larry, the American Psychiatric Association called; they want your delusions back.)
The blues or the news, guaranteed to amuse. That's Larry Rand in a nutshell...and a nutshell just might be from whence he emerged some forgotten time in the middle of the last century. An award-winning journalist, Larry melds his command of current events and folk music into songs that satirize society, sans the dogma. "I try to aim up at the rich and powerful," he explains, as if to assure us that we are not the source of the problem (unless, of course, you're rich and powerful). "Uptempo Folksong?" Yep, that's Larry's work; request it and he shall sing.
Joining Larry on stage will be Nicole Mendyk, also a product of the Chicago folk scene, performing professionally for nearly 20 years. Among other credentials, she is an educator who taught university-level ESL and did outreach work with Vietnamese immigrants in Chicago's Uptown. Welcome! And Rick Veras, Chicago's venerable musician, complements the duo's mix of guitar, banjo and dulcimer with clever accompaniments on fiddle and mandolin. Let the music and fun begin!
