Looking for Kindness Tour:

Looking for Kindness Amidst Anxiety is a one man show by Old Reverend Randell (aka Randell Neudorf), in the storytelling tradition of the Vinyl Cafe with Stuart McLean. Here is what Randell has to say about the show:

It all started with some cartoons I made in my art journal while struggling with a year of prolonged anxiety attacks. Through therapy, the idea of kindness became very important to me. I began to share my stories along side my Kindness Cartoons and it really resonated with people and helped me feel seen. It started to feel like these drawings wanted to live somewhere outside my art journal, so I turned them into a little book called “Looking for Kindness Amidst Anxiety.“

Around the same time I was also working on my debut album “4-track Gospel” under the stage name Old Reverend Randell. These songs were all about how things like anxiety and pain left me feeling like I didn’t fit in, especially at church. The album ends with the title track, an epic story that uses the image of a 4-track tape recorder (how musicians did home recording before computers) as a metaphor. I imagined the gospel writers: Mathew, Mark, Luke & John used up all the tape and there was no place left for me. The song then flips to what can only be described as a mystical experience. In the transition I sing, “It’s kind of strange to say, it’s event stranger to sing. I don’t need you to believe it, or even receive it, I just need to tell it, the way that I felt it!”

I began to realize that these two projects were really one story. And as I have had the chance to share pieces of this at art shows, youth centres and concerts, people always tell me, “You were really speaking my language!” I think most people can identify with the struggles of mental health and we are all looking to find a little more kindness in our lives.

That is the story I would like to share at your next community event, concert, or house show. Contact randellneudorf@gmail.com for more info.
