Don't forget to come see/hear The Prince Myshkins for a needed dose of humor! 

The San Diego-based acoustic folk duo The Prince Myshkins will be performing 
this Friday, November 5 at 7:00pm in the Main Lounge of Allen Hall, 1005 W. 
Gregory, Urbana. This concert is FREE and open to the public. Free parking is available in the garage across the street.

The Prince Myshkins (Rick Burkhardt, accordion, and Andy Gricevich, acoustic 
guitar) have been performing together since 1995. Their study of musical 
traditions from a hundred years of American folk to Berlin cabaret to 
Brazilian jazz to Schubert has given their music a unique folk/cabaret sound 
all its own. The Myshkins regularly appear as KPBS San Diego's resident 
satirists - they have also been heard on NPR's "Morning Edition" and 
Pacifica's "Democracy Now." The Prince Myshkins are on a tour promoting 
their recently released CD "Total Myshkins Awareness." 

What people are saying about The Prince Myshkins: 

"Klezmer meets Godot and Brothers Grimm.... The Myshkins are first-rate 
musicians whose sardonic songs induce life-threatening fits of laughter." 
KPBS San Diego 

"Anyone aspiring to write political satire should hear this brilliant duo." 
Sing Out! magazine 

"A remarkably skilled pair of singer-songwriters.... 
Very funny, lively, smart and political. Their CD, Shiny Round Object, 
is my favorite recording of the last millennium." 
Charlie King 

"The songs are meticulous masterpieces, lyrically and musically.... each 
song an American epic unto itself. The Prince Myshkins are true American 
queer music revolutionaries, and Shiny Round Object is the new direction of 
indie-pendence." 
Outvoice Reviews 

"A brilliant musical duo whose biting political satire has enlivened San 
Diego's music scene. Their original songs challenge, entertain, and 
enlighten."
