CHARMING DISASTER’S MUSICAL ORACLE Will Return to the Rochester Fringe Festival
The goth-folk duo will present three interactive performances at SOTA’s Black Box Theatre.
NYC goth-folk cabaret duo Charming Disaster will return to the ESL Rochester Fringe Festival with Musical Oracle, a playfully dark interactive concert and divination ritual. Performances will take place September 19–20, 2025 at the Rochester School of the Arts (SOTA) Black Box Theatre.
Musical Oracle combines Charming Disaster’s original songs—drawn from myth, magic, monsters, and mortality—with a Tarot-style card ritual that determines the evening’s set list. Each show is unique, blending music, theatre, and ritual while offering audiences a glimpse into the mysterious workings of fate.
Formed in 2012 by Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris, Charming Disaster has been praised for their macabre humor and eclectic influences, ranging from Edward Gorey to Americana murder ballads. Their music has been featured on the hit podcast Welcome to Night Vale, and they have toured internationally, sharing stages with Rasputina, Voltaire, and The Dresden Dolls. Now in their seventh year at the Rochester Fringe, they return following the release of their latest album, The Double (May 2025).
