Album Notes

About Rich Flanders


Rich’s recent cd, “Yondering”- “classic western songs of earth, sky, and the great lone places”- received The Will Rogers Cowboy Award from The Academy of Western Artists, and is available on CD Baby. Musical Medicine, the newsletter of the Inner Harmony Health Center commented, "The music of Yondering reaches deep into the heart, bringing a sense of peace in an unsettling world." His much-anticipated new album, “Ride Away,” will soon be available as well.

Rich is the new voice of “Cowboy Bob” and “Woody Guppie” at Rubber Chicken Cards, and he has performed on Broadway in “Shenandoah,” toured with the First National Company of “Annie,” and appeared in repertory, off-Broadway, stock and dinner theatre companies across the U.S. Recent New York appearances include the Broadway Concerts Direct production of “Sarah Rice & Friends” and the animal-rescue benefit concert, “Love Makes The World Go ‘Round” at The Metropolitan Room in Manhattan. He will appear in a second production of “Love Makes The World Go ‘Round” at Birdland on May 9.

He is honored to have been chosen by Judy Kellersberger to record her beautiful tribute to a great river. The lyrics of "Tribute To The Hudson" were recently used in Pete Seeger's Clearwater Festival brochure. The song was played at the opening of the Quadricentennial at the 2009 Knickerbocker Ice Festival and is beginning to receive airplay all along the Hudson River Valley.
