Urban Choir Project is thrilled to be back at Le Poisson Rouge, bringing our three choirs together for a night of kooky chorus covers and glorious harmony. Britpop Choir, Brooklynite Choir and our newest group B-Side Choir will each perform a short set of well- known pop and indie tunes, bringing their unique and individual vibe to the performances. The choirs will also be joined by special guests Bandits on the Run who will round off the night with their own set of beautifully quirky, harmony- filled original music.

Bandits on the Run is Brooklyn’s very own criminal whimsy ring, composed of cellist/badass Bonanza Jellyfish, guitarist/fool Roy Dodger, and player-of-toys/clairvoyant Clarissa. Veterans of the NYC busking scene, the three specialize in coloring any old place with a distinctive atmosphere, easily connecting with an audience while trading off frontman roles, with each bandit adding their unique voice and songwriting prowess to the pot for a heady, mood-buoying brew. A tight unit, they have traveled the world with their tunes, playing to crowds everywhere from grungy bars in LA to living rooms in London to old town squares in France. Their songwriting and creative videos have even earned them accolades from the likes of the Coffee Music Project and NPR Music. Listen and you will be whisked away to find something old, something new, and a heart warmed between the two.
