Sunset Wednesdays: Bandits on the Run

About this event

Bandits on the Run are a musical trio comprised of Adrian Blake Enscoe, Sydney Shepherd, and Regina Strayhorn, known for their distinct combination of cello, guitar, accordion, and found percussion with sophisticated three-part harmonies and rotating lead vocals. The Brooklyn-based band sprang from a chance encounter while busking in New York City’s subways, bursting onto the national stage in 2019 when their song, “Love in the Underground,” was featured on the NPR Tiny Desk Contest’s Top Shelf. After recording their 2021 EP, Now Is The Time , with producer Ryan Hadlock (Brandi Carlile, The Lumineers), the Bandits took to the screen, devising a short musical film, Band At The End Of The World, commissioned by Prospect Musicals. Since then, they have continued to explore the nexus of indie-folk music and theatrical storytelling, composing music for the Netflix animated series, Storybots , scoring the movie, The Same Storm , adapting several songs from texts by William Shakespeare for a production of As You Like It , and receiving an NEA grant for a new musical with Prospect Musicals, all while touring the globe with appearances at the Cambridge Folk Festival, Floydfest, Summerfest Milwaukee, Americanafest, F1 Singapore Grand Prix, Mile of Music, and the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival.
