Bandits on the Run
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Bandits on the Run Bandits on the Run are a musical trio from the Brooklyn-Queens border. Born from a chance encounter busking on the subway, Adrian Blake Enscoe, Sydney Shepherd, and Regina Strayhorn defy convention with an impressive trade-off of lead vocals and instruments. The Bandits marry acoustic, electric, and bass guitar sounds with cello, accordion, suitcases-turned-kickdrums, and (if you’re lucky) sometimes even a megaphone. The Bandit’s three-part harmonies have been heard filling iconic venues while opening for The Wood Brothers’ 2025 East Coast tour, on the main stages at Colorado’s Rocky Mount Folks Fest and Michigan’s Blissfest, and in a sold out residency at Manhattan’s Bowery Electric. Their songs have been featured by NPR’s Tiny Desk and The Moth Story Slam, as well as in Netflix’s Ask the StoryBots and the feature film The Same Storm. The Bandits tour nationally and internationally, with appearances at Cambridge Folk Festival, Floydfest, Summerfest Milwaukee, Americanafest, F1 Singapore Grand Prix, Mile of Music, and more. Their theatrical indie-folk lends itself quite well to storytelling and their work adapting text for a musical production of As You Like It later became their EP The Shakespeare Tapes. In addition to all their touring and recording work, Bandits on the Run are also in the business of writing musicals, sometimes as a trio and sometimes with collaborators. They are currently creating the stage musical adaptation of the novel What’s Eating Gilbert Grape with actor-musician-longtime friend Christopher Sears and newfound friend Academy Award Nominee Peter Hedges, supported by MCC Theater. Bandits on the Run are also developing an original musical, Yukon Ho, about a group of Black prospectors in the Alaskan gold rush, Yukon Ho was researched on the ground in Skagway, Alaska with support from the NEA, and has been workshopped with support from Prospect Musicals. They are alumni of several musical theater writing development programs, including Berkeley Rep Ground Floor, Rhinebeck Writers Retreat, and the Johnny Mercer Songwriters Grove at Goodspeed Musicals. Adrian, Sydney, and Regina bring their individual corners of the creative universe into the room when they collaborate. Adrian Blake Enscoe made their Broadway debut in The Avett Brothers’ Swept Away in 2024 and can be seen playing Austin Dickinson in the Apple TV+ Series Dickinson. Sydney Shepherd was most recently seen in the 2025 world premiere of The Ruins at the Guthrie Theater. Regina Strayhorn also works in casting, bringing to life shows for HBO, Amazon, Apple TV, CBS & Hulu, as well as a freelance photographer. The Bandits will be on the run again soon, touring behind their new full length album “Rough Magic”. They hope to see you there.
Dana and Alden
AGE RESTRICTION: All Ages Doors: 7:00PM Show: 8:00PM Papa’s Boat Tour Dana and Alden Jazz duo Dana & Alden have always had a wanderlust, something they credit to their maternalgrandfather. Affectionately known as Papa, he was the kind of person others naturally gravitatetowards. It was a photograph from one of his trips to Asia that inspired the Eugene, OR duo’snew album Papa’s Boat. In the image Papa is looking out across the horizon and stood next tohis boat Sŵn y Môr (Welsh for “Sound of the Sea.”)“I think so much of what Alden and I are doing comes from just watching him live his own uniquelife,” says Dana. Alden agrees. “His emboldened, passionate personality gave us permission tobe our own selves, to be unconventional and draw outside of the box.”Recorded with Malcolm Catto in London in March 2025, Papa’s Boat combines all theirchildhood love and global experience to create an ecstatic sound built on Dana’s saxophoneand Alden’s drums. Recorded with the duo’s backing band, Ebba Dankel (vocals and keys),Andrew Mitchell (bass), Eli Torgersen (vocals and guitar) and Salim Charvet (sax and synths),Papa’s Boat is rooted in jazz but pulling influence from indie, pop, rap, bossa nova, and beyond.A hypnotic combination of sax and buzzing synths on “Lighthouse” sets the tone for an albumthat uses water as both a reflective surface and a body to get lost in. Elsewhere there arecollaborations with Mei Semones, Melanie Charles, and legendary Brazilian songwriter MarcosValle, a hero figure to the band who appears on “El Gaucho” and “Friendship Is A Boat.”Throughout its runtime Papa’s Boat sails purposefully between memories of the past and visionsof a brighter future. It doesn’t just commemorate their Papa as a beloved character, but shareshim with the world.
