singer-songwriter, kaitlynn danae, is a chicago based artist. drawing influences from artists such as bright eyes, noah gundersen, and the cranberries; intense emotion and awareness are the base of her songs about life, love, and heartache. accompanied with rhythmic and ethereal melodies, she provides an easily accessible gateway to seek a great perhaps.

I can be completely reconstructed out of debris found on most ordinary city streets. 

 Rich Krueger, a singer-songwriter based now in Chicago Il (formerly in Duke City, NM , before that LA, and before that Chicago, Illinois), was born in Bedford-Stuyvesant, NYC in 1960, during that difficult period of transition after the Spanish-American War. It was a Wednesday and rained the whole following week. He has been writing and performing, solo and with his band The Dysfunctionells, largely in Chicago, but also in NYC and Kerrville, since 1985. The Dysfunctionells have backed up the Holy Modal Rounders at their reunion at The Bottom Line in NYC, and The Dysfunctionells have recorded with Peter Stampfel of the HMR. Rich has a self-produced song demo on CD entitled "Personal Overachievement Rich Krueger" or PORK for short, and the next album tenatively entitiled TROTH, or maybe Pledged Fidelity, is half in the can. He does not bowl. There are literally tens of rabid Rich Krueger fans scattered all over the globe...poor sods all. .. He can be contacted by e-mail at richard.krueger@yahoo.com. 

 Here are what some critics, DJs, and other performers have to say about him... "Talented...highly distinctive songwriter...cerebral, ironic....Richard Thompsonesque" --Michael Parrish, Dirty Linen 

 "Krueger's melodies, phrasing, and carefully-crafted lyrics call to mind the very best singer-songwriters: Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen. But his vision is very much his own. " -- Jennifer Zogott, Folk Roots Magazine (Britain) 

 "As a lifelong fan of True Deep American Strangeness, I came to a realization after leaving Milwaukee for the last time in 1959: The Truest, Deepest American Strangeness is to be found in the Heartland,the Great Midwest. As a perfect example, take a song--any song--of Rich Krueger, and you will see exactly what I mean. Rich is an American Stranger, if I ever did see one." -- Peter Stampfel of the Holy Modal Rounders 

 " The high point of my trip to Kerrville in 1996...Quirky, unique, original...A breath of fresh air amid the quagmire of mediocre self-produced CDs" -- Jack Hardy 

 "Rich Krueger's songs come from the less traveled roads of the heart. I look forward to going there with him." -- Ezra Idlet of Trout Fishing in America

I have been playing music for as long as I can remember. I wanted to put up a page where I can upload the music that I have written and covered. All the original music is entirely played, written, and mixed by me. I hope everyone enjoys listening to what you hear!
