About Guest Artists Third Reprise

Third Reprise is a genre-bending, community-bridging band that plays showtunes like you’ve never heard them before. Highlighting the musicianship of instrumentalists and vocalists from both the Broadway and R&B/funk/soul scenes in NYC, Third Reprise launched online as a video series in 2023 to the applause of theater and music lovers alike. It’s the brainchild of arranger, music director and pianist Daniel Rudin, whose arrangements for the group marry contemporary musical flavors such as “yacht rock” and “synthwave” with rich instincts for storytelling. Third Reprise is a celebration of the musical theater canon, refracting beloved classics through a sonic kaleidoscope to bridge the familiar and the unknown.

Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites... 07/16/2026

Loss, we've all suffered it. Some of us more than others,some less and still yet there are those of us who've not had loss of any significance to this point. Loss, like anything else, is directly related to perspective. What may seem like a huge loss to one, is insignificant to another. People pass away, bad days do the same, they fade into the night or disappear at the bottom of one's favorite drink until they are swept away by the morning's sunrise and things are new. Some loss stays a bit longer, adding scars to our bodies until they become topographical maps of memories; reminders of what not to do or what we didn't do or should've done.




Makin Waves Song of the Week: "Body Cast" by Tiny Cities
