Details:
Fellow artists and musicians describe Richard Geller as a Renaissance man. He is a novelist, a poet, and an accomplished songwriter. As such, his music is part of a much larger body of work that focuses on issues of alienation, connection, our personal quest for meaning, and the real possibilities for peace-of-mind.
His songs are gentle, kind and always about something worthy of thought and reflection. Yet, they are deceptively simple, clear and accessible—about ordinary things like finding work you love, loss, enduring friendship, or the mystery that is this thing we call the world.
Geller’s advanced professional training includes an MFA in creative writing from the prestigious Writers Workshop at the University of Iowa as well as MA and MPhil degrees in literature from Yale University. Geller has also received hands-on training in songwriting at the Swannanoa Gathering.
He has published three novels: Whose Pot Is This?, The Raspberry Man, and The Secret Life Of My Father and three volumes of poetry: Iowa, Living On The Outskirts Of Heaven and True Worldly Things.
Geller is carving his own path as an artist. His unique, one-of-a-kind website is a whimsical 3D world inspired by his books and music. It is building a global audience for his work and receives on average about 4000 visits every month from up to 68 countries.
At the same age as Keith Richards, Geller is just now breaking into the music scene after picking up the guitar and beginning composing only in the last few years.
He has played to large audiences at the Swannanoa Gathering in Ashville, NC, opened for Gretchen Witt, and done open mics in his home state of Connecticut.
“Every Time I See Your Face” was recently selected for a national TV campaign for the Norwegian Cancer Society and began airing on Christmas Day, 2010.
