Biography Rich Krueger, a singer-songwriter based now in Duke City, NM (formerly in LA, and before that Chicago, Illinois), was born in Brooklyn, NYC in 1960, during that difficult period of transition after the Spanish-American War. 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. He does not bowl. There are literally tens of rabid Rich Krueger fans scattered all over the globe, and include many of the best and brightest writer/performers working today--Peter Stampfel, Rob Fulks, Jack Hardy, David Massengill, Trout Fishing in America, Andrew Calhoun, Hugh Blumenfeld, and Emily Kaitz, to name but a few. He can be contacted by e-mail at richard.krueger@yahoo.com. For the record, he is also an MD/PhD neonatologist/neuroscientist. "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
