The Miracle Men combine unique songwriting with a minimalist ethnic flair and a DIY ethic to come out sounding something like Dead Can Dance crossed with the Violent Femmes with the Cure sitting on the edge of the bed. Or something like that.
The core band consists of long time collaborators Andy Boje on bass and Alex Mohr on percussion. In late 2007 guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Bill Arab joined the Miracle Men and in 2008 keyboardist Julie Cooks did as well. The drum stool is currently vacant.
On stage and on record the Miracle Men have employed the talents of guest musicians such as Isis (percussion), David Honeycutt (drums), Lynn Janese (drums), Jay Ingraham (saxophone), Tasha Mohr (flute), and Sean Diaz (violin).
Richard pretty much plays everything else- electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards, drums and percussion.
After launching an ambitious series of theatrical shows entitled "Primitive Incandescent Theatre" the Miracle Men invited lighting designer (and Richard's brother) Matthew Schultz to become a full-time member of the band. Matthew also contributes backing vocals to the Miracle Men.
