The Escape Artists... is an acoustic trio based in northeast
Pennsylvania. The trio began as a duo called "Brandon and Randi"
in the spring of 2008. With BT (Brandon) playing a 12 string
Acoustic guitar and Randi playing a small drum/percussion setup,
the duo began playing open mic sessions, and gigs around the north
east PA area. The duo has played shows at Starbucks Coffee in
Dallas, The Honky Tonk in Dunmore, JJ Bridges restaurant in Clarks
Summit, and in 2008 they played the Go Joe '08 festival for Joe
Snedeker. Brandon and Randi had a lot of success, and much positive
feedback for their very pleasant sounds. Covering many songs from
the 80's, 90's and 00's Brandon and Randi were able to get a great
feel, and a monster groove going with such a small setup.
In the summer of 2009, Brandon and Randi decided to add a
third member in order to begin booking 'bigger' shows. Brandon had
played many shows with Jason so the choice came easy. Jason rounds
out the trio with his warm jazz style bass playing.
The Escape Artists...has filled out their roster, and their
sound very nicely with three talented musicians. We take pride in
being a band that is "pleasing" to listen to, but with the groove
that is needed to make a live audience enjoy the music. Please get
out soon to see The Escape Artists... as they begin booking the North
East PA region!
The Escape Artists... are:
Brandon Turner - 12 String Guitar, Vocals
Jason Zeidman - Bass Guitar, Vocals
Randi Nichols - Drums, Percussion, Vocals
