The one microphone configuration is nothing new to Bandits on the Run. When cellist Sydney Shepherd happened to cross paths with guitarist Adrian Blake Enscoe in a subway station, the two struck up a conversation that led to a musical partnership and more. Shortly after, Regina Strayhorn (performer of all manner of instruments) joined them to complete the trio.
Taking cues from the attention-grabbing style of subway busking, complete with three-part harmonies choruses and foot-stomping rhythms, Bandits On The Run have been making waves via NPR's Tiny Desk competitions and a new EP that looks forward to the return of in-person music making.
