Album Notes

"Not only a tremendous musical talent, but also a raw honesty and sincere righteousness." The New York Times

"Beautiful and artful." NYTheater.com

"Inspired...worthy of Bob Fosse's Cabaret work, as funny as it is horrifying." EDGE Entertainment

“There is just no easy way to describe the experience... It’s odd and raw, by turns accessible, touching and frothy. It’s a little bit of everything and it’s also unlike anything you’ve seen and heard before.” City Beat

“A rare and compelling talent.” Rachel Chanoff, Artistic Director of Celebrate Brooklyn and MASS MoCA

"Friendly, fresh-faced and downright enchanting... audiences are bound to sit up and take notice.” Addison Independent

The Bengsons are also activists and teachers, who have taught students in NYC's public schools and Cambodian immigrants in Massachusetts, as well as internationally, including at the Market Theater Lab of Johannesburg, ZA, the Tijuana Christian Orphanage of Tijuana, Mexico, and ASAPROSA, in Santa Ana, El Salvador.

I'm not much of a 'reviewer,' but I wanted to take a moment to put in a plug for this great album. I met Shaun & Abigail after live performance recently in Dayton, Ohio. I was a lucky recipient of a pre-released version of this album & let me tell you it is mesmerizing! So original! I am looking forward to their return to Dayton--as I hope to take in another of their live performances.
