7-8pm: Sweet Soubrette – Indie / Pop / Cabaret
Shrine
2271 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd
New York, NY 10030
Playing saxophone with “Sweet Soubrette, a ukulele-powered indie rock band with dark, poetic lyrics, songs that tell stories, and lush instrumentation. Sweet Soubrette’s edgy love songs explore troubled romance, works of literature, and the mysteries of existence, featuring the songwriting, vocals and ukulele of Ellia Bisker and a talented backing band. Bisker honed her performance chops playing ukulele in the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, and the glittery eyelashes she wears onstage hint at her vaudevillean origins. Time Out NY says “Sweet Soubrette’s style comes with a pinch of Regina Spektor quirk and a spoonful of old-timey burlesque.” The Deli Magazine calls Sweet Soubrette “One of New York’s most intriguing songwriting forces…rock star command and intelligently crafted music.”
