Born from a chance encounter busking on the subway\, Adrian Blake Enscoe\, Sydney Shepherd\, and Regina Strayhorn defy convention with an im pressive trade-off of lead vocals and instruments. The Bandits marry acous tic\, electric\, and bass guitar sounds with cello\, accordion\, suitcases -turned-kickdrums\, and (if you’re lucky) sometimes even a megaphone. Th e Bandit’s three-part harmonies have been heard filling iconic venues wh ile opening for The Wood Brothers’ 2025 East Coast tour\, on the main st ages at Colorado’s Rocky Mount Folks Fest and Michigan’s Blissfest\, a nd in a sold out residency at Manhattan’s Bowery Electric. Their songs h ave been featured by NPR’s Tiny Desk and The Moth Story Slam\, as well a s in Netflix’s Ask the StoryBots and the feature film The Same Storm. Th e Bandits tour nationally and internationally\, with appearances at Cambri dge Folk Festival\, Floydfest\, Summerfest Milwaukee\, Americanafest\, F1 Singapore Grand Prix\, Mile of Music\, and more. Their theatrical indie-fo lk lends itself quite well to storytelling and their work adapting text fo r a musical production of As You Like It later became their EP The Shakesp eare 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 t rio and sometimes with collaborators.
