On Friday, May 7th at Noon, JPR will broadcast a JPR Live Session (from afar) with Bandits On The Run on Open Air. The origin story of Bandits On The Run reads like a New York tall tale — a young cellist catching the late train home happens upon a busker singing and playing on the subway platform, the two strike up a conversation about music that becomes an all-night Brooklyn adventure. The meeting forms a bond that quickly leads to musical collaboration, then the cellist’s poet friend finds herself in New York and moves into an open room in the cellist’s apartment. The three strike up an instant creative alchemy, they put on some bandanas, take to the subways, and the rest is history.
