While the Renegade Cabaret no longer takes place on her fire escape next to the High Line, Patty and a posse of talent who continue to find odd places to perform, will present you with a goulash of song, comedy and entertainment that was once a staple of New York, namely, spontaneous, rebellious performance.
Patty Heffley, aka Patrice at the Wheel, galloped out of the West to the middle of Gotham to live life as an artist just by being herself. She has no plans to keep her mouth shut.
Co-founder and co-producer Elizabeth Soychak, aka The Lady in the Green Dress, finds performing out of doors photosynthesizing. Her recordings can be found at on cdbaby and iTunes
Mary Foster Conklin, aka The lady in the Red Dress, grew up across the river (New Jersey) and has lived below 14th Street for decades. She loves spontaneous singing in odd places and playing the ukulele, but makes up for it by cursing a lot.
Roger Manning, aka Barefoot Roger, hails from the South (downtown) and enjoys pick’n but not-so-much grin’n and has done plenty of busk’n.
John DiPinto, aka The Man in the Hat, was born in Manhattan, of course. Hatless at birth, he has since amassed a large collection of headgear. An eclectic singer and instrumentalist, he now lives in Brooklyn with two cats who do not wear hats.
