Reid Genauer
Singer | Songwriter | Storyteller
I’m a verbal guy a natural born a storyteller with a fast mind and a fast tongue to boot. That trait manifests itself in my songwriting, speaking and general state of being. Below are links to articles and interviews that span my musical career as a singer, songwriter, storyteller and member of folk rock bands Strangefolk and Assembly of Dust but maybe more suprisingly some other links that shine a light on other parts of my life. Press highlights include articles in USA Today, The New York Times, Relix, Jambase, Live for Live Music, American Songwriter. Most of these articles have elements of humor, personal insights or glimpses of the way I conceptualize music and life. Some are just “hero hits” that make me feel good about myself when I’m having a bad day. Thanks for playing and paying attention kids - Reid

CONSPIRE TO SMILE - THE ALBUM: Welcome to #ConspireToSmile" folks. As you listen to the music i'm hoping to you might spend 3 minutes on3 quotes that summarize the intent of this project:
A person is but the product of their thoughts. What they think, they become." -Mahatma Gandhi
"Try not to become a person of success. Rather become a person of Value.” -Albert Einstein
"If you get confused listen to the music play." -Robert Hunter
The Music: Simply press play and #ConspireToSmile. Downloads are available as mp3, flac, wav, aif, and more. Click the download link under the album image to download. Feel free to share #ConspireToSmile as you see fit. Put it in the hands of those who need it and who best believe it. You're at the helm.
The Message: #ConspireToSmile isn't just about music and its definitely not just about my music. It's the notion that we are more alike than different, the belief that music can simultaneously deliver wild freedom and the sense of deep comfort that comes from belonging to it. I'd like to thank each of you, my coconspirators for providing that sense of wonder and security for me.
The Coconspiritors:
This album is a celebration of the collective “we” and the power that each of us has in the telling of our shared story. It's a reminder that we have something special to bolster us, a community, a belief system and a powerful shared voice. It’s also a gentle reminder to lead the way with that belief system in mind. Our little community is geographically distributed but deeply connected through the stretched out soul of rock and roll. This is an opportunity to lean into our collective lore and #ConspireToSmile - if even but for a moment. #ConspireToSmile.
The Folks:
The process for making this record was truly collaborative. It brings together the talent, charisma, time and sweeping spirit of some two dozen musicians. These are characters with loud awareness and screaming guitars. People with old souls and ancient Stratocasters. They're personalities who by definition "go to 11" and if you're reading this - so to must you. Most importantly these Folks are my friends for whom I have a deep affection and admiration, my musical coconspirators, my tribe, whose imagination and creativity moves me, soothes me and drives me forward.
