The Skivvies are back in action! Lauren Molina and Nick Cearley, award-winning NYC actor/musicians doing stripped down versions of eclectic covers and comedic, genre-hopping mashups. Not only are the arrangements stripped down - cello, ukulele, glockenspiel, melodica - but the Skivvies literally strip down to their underwear to perform. It's undie-rock at its finest. Featured in People Magazine's Hottest Bodies Issue as the Most Playful performers, the Wall Street Journal calls them 'highly original...smart...ingenious'.
Melanie Brook, Anna Ty Bergman, and Kerri George have taken to YouTube to debut a new acoustic mashup, featuring Ingrid Michaelson's 'The Chain' and 'Ring of Key's from Broadway's FUN HOME, including Nat Zegree on piano. Check it out below!
