Acclaimed Americana Duo 'Our Band' Celebrates the Everly Brothers Acclaimed Americana duo ‘Our Band’ (Sasha Papernik and Justin Poindexter) joins forces with Pat Lawrence (bass) and Chris Gelb (drums) to salute one of American music’s most influential duos: the Everly Brothers. Don and Phil Everly’s haunting family harmony ruled the charts in the 50’s and early 60’s paving the way for Simon and Garfunkel and the Beatles. ‘Our Band’ reimagines their legacy, delivering fresh interpretations of Everly classics alongside their own award-winning original music and wide-ranging repertoire, all delivered with their quick wit, virtuoso style and airtight harmonies. Sasha Papernik: vocals, piano, accordion Justin Poindexter: vocals, guitar Pat Lawrence: bass Chris Gelb: drums Our Band will win your heart. Steeped in the tradition of great male and female duets such as Johnny Cash and June Carter, Sasha Papernik and Justin Poindexter bring their award-winning songwriting, intimate harmonies, and Eastern-European flair to a rich Americana soundscape. Together, they have performed for audiences in some of the world’s greatest venues, from Carnegie Hall to Lincoln Center to the Smithsonian Museum of American Art. In 2018-19 they toured Poland, Germany and Estonia as ambassadors of American music for U.S. State Department. ourband.org
