"Klezmer meets Godot and Brothers Grimm.... 
the Myshkins are first-rate musicians whose sardonic songs induce 
life-threatening fits of laughter."
"The Lounge", KPBS San Diego
"The wittiest group in the area.... Insanely clever lyrics." 
University of California Guardian
"A rare combination of biting satire and great musicianship
Hysterical send-ups of current political and social issues to
remarkably catchy and well-written tunes."
Twiggs Green Room 
"Anyone who aspires to write political satire should hear this brilliant duo."
Sing Out! magazine
The Prince Myshkins are Rick Burkhardt and Andy Gricevich. Rick plays accordion and sings; Andy plays guitar and sings. Together they produce experimental music, songs, poems, and theater. As the modern folk duo The Prince Myshkins, they have composed songs on the subjects of war, economics, sexuality, medicine, and contemporary politics. Rick and Andy both studied at the University of Illinois and are now living and working in Madison, Wisconsin. In their seven years in San Diego they worked to make their own material obsolete by appearing locally as KPBS San Diego’s resident satirists, and by touring nationally to sing at antiwar demonstrations, union rallies, schools, coffeehouses, living rooms, community centers and major urban intersections. www.princemyshkins.com
