Third Reprise, presented in partnership with YoungArts

Third Reprise is bringing their Cover Theory Tour to Joe's Pub to celebrate the release of their debut album and play a mix of their most popular arrangements and fresh songs, with sounds ranging from gospel to folk to afrobeat to yacht rock. Third Reprise is a genre-bending, community-bridging band that plays wildly adventurous arrangements of showtunes, among other things. Highlighting the musicianship of instrumentalists and vocalists from both the Broadway and R&B/funk/soul/jazz scenes in NYC, the band launched online as a video series in 2023 and has since taken the internet by storm through collaborations with the likes of Darren Criss, Andrew Barth Feldman, Sarah Hyland, Amanda Barise, and many others. Third Reprise is the brainchild of arranger, music director and pianist Daniel Rudin, whose boundary-pushing arrangements for the group marry contemporary musical flavors such as disco funk, yacht rock, jazz fusion, and synthpop with rich instincts for storytelling. On stage, Third Reprise delivers thrilling pop-fusion arrangements with spontaneity and precision, never taking themselves too seriously yet playing “Defying Gravity” like their lives depend on it.
