Summary
The following was recorded LIVE at Le Poisson Rouge in NYC on November 19th, 2025. It features the brilliant dynamic duo of Scott Passarella on the keys and New York's own Max Ash on the drums. The rivalry between band kids and choir kids is as old as time. Can they ever get along, or will limited arts funding tear them apart? What does it take to be a principal? What's the difference between a stem and a trunk? All these questions AND MORE will be answered! For 2026 Tour dates check our OffBookLive.com!
