Polygraph Lounge is Rob Schwimmer, Mark Stewart, and Melissa Fathman. They have worked with Simon & Garfunkel, Wayne Shorter, Steve Reich, Paul Simon, Laurie Anderson, The Cleveland Orchestra, The Boston Pops, and countless others.
Polygraph Lounge is what they do when their keepers aren’t looking.
Seeking fulfillment outside of their parallel lives as virtuoso soloists, composers and model sidemen of utter sobriety, they created Polygraph Lounge where they offer up inspired lunacy/anarchy fired from a veritable arsenal of original instruments & vocal stylings. Picking up the gauntlet thrown down by Spike Jones, Victor Borge, PDQ Bach, Tom Lehrer & the Firesign Theatre, Polygraph Lounge may perform repertoire including Inna Gadda Da Vida as Gregorian Chant, Led Zeppelin's Black Dog as if arranged by Aaron Copland, an audience of nose flutes playing The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, the surf guitar rendition of Tchaikowsky's Swan Lake, Polygraph Lounge's re-telling of Moby Dick, Mozart's Eine Kleine Razzernacht, ad infinitum -- All are fodder for the canon of hilarity fired by Maestros Schwimmer and Stewart directly to your Medulla Oblongata Da Vida.
In addition to their standard program, Polygraph Lounge also offers a children’s program, commissioned by Carnegie Hall, suitable for music lovers of all ages. See the video on this page for further information.
