Bio
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. When not on tour he lives in the California Bay Area & works as a part-time custodian. Half-handed Cloud is able to ensconce complicated theological concepts into playground song without condescending to his subject or to his listener. ------------------- - S E L E C T E D - D I S C O G R A P H Y - ------- "Learning about Your Scale" album 1999 (re-released 2001) // "I'm so Sheepy" EP 2000 (re-released 2003) // "We Haven't Just Been Told We Have Been Loved" album 2002 // "Thy is a Word, & Feet Need Lamps" album 2005 // "What's the Remedy?"

Bio:

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 paperbacks, carries a couple different colored pens, and continues to use an antiquated CD walkman. When not on tour he lives in the California Bay Area & works as a part-time custodian. Half-handed Cloud is able to ensconce complicated theological concepts into playground song without condescending to his subject or to his listener. ---------- ------- - S E L E C T E D - D I S C O G R A P H Y - ------- "Learning about Your Scale" album 1999 (re-released 2001) // "I'm so Sheepy" EP 2000 (re-released 2003) // "We Haven't Just Been Told We Have Been Loved" album 2002 // "Thy is a Word, & Feet Need Lamps" album 2005 // "What's the Remedy?"
