Bandits On the Run bring a concert that blurs the line between music and storytelling, shaped by a spirit of collaboration and the spark of their busking roots. The trio of Adrian Blake Enscoe, Sydney Shepherd, and Regina Strayhorn first crossed paths in the New York City subway, then forged a sound that mixes indie folk, harmony-rich Americana, theatrical flair, and imaginative arrangements. Expect a colorful palette of instruments that can include acoustic and electric guitars, cello, accordion, suitcase percussion, bass, and more, all in service of songs that come alive through three-part harmonies and vivid narratives. Their voices and songs have resonated in concert halls, festivals, and sold-out clubs across North America and beyond. They have shared stages with The Wood Brothers, appeared at Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, Blissfest, Americanafest, Cambridge Folk Festival, and Summerfest, and earned features from NPR Tiny Desk, The Moth Story Slam, Netflix’s Ask the StoryBots, and the feature film The Same Storm. Their latest album, Rough Magic, honors friendship and creativity with lush textures, intimate moments, field-recorded touches, and richly woven vocals. Made between Brooklyn studios and a converted church in the Catskills, it embraces the beauty of imperfection and the power of community, suggesting that extraordinary art can rise from simple human connection. Beyond the bandstand, they are active theater makers developing new musicals, including a stage version of What’s Eating Gilbert Grape with Academy Award nominee Peter Hedges, supported by programs such as Berkeley Rep Ground Floor, Rhinebeck Writers Retreat, and Goodspeed Musicals. In performance they keep the heart of street performance alive, inviting audiences into a show that feels playful, open, and full of possibility, with dazzling harmonies, inventive instrumentation, and stories that linger long after the last note.
