Half-handed Cloud Live on WMBR's Phoning It In Program

Hosted by:

Originally aired:

Half-handed Cloud is an interesting phenomenon. John Ringhofer, the man behind the namesake, is as joyful and frugal as his music. An economical thinker, Ringhofer prefers the subway over a taxicab, is a recycler of plastic, a compulsive note-taker, and a habitual optimist. He doodles in the margins of National Geographic magazines, carries several different colored pens, and continues to use an antiquated CD walkman. When not on tour solo, as the trombonist for Sufjan Stevens Illinoisemakers, or as the occasional Danielson bassist, he lives rent-free in Berkeley California in exchange for his services as a custodian. His music encapsulates his struggle to make sense of his life. In Half-handed Cloud this is expressed as an all-consuming search for God. Half-handed Cloud is able to ensconce complicated theological concepts into playground song without condescending to his subject or to his listener.

Location: 88.1 FM
