Join us for an evening of live music at Bryant Lake Bowl's intimate theater space. Expect unusually beautiful sounds brought to you by Midwest bands Spaceport, Bad Posture Club, and DPCD.
Arianna Wegley, Todd Olson, and Liam Moore are Minneapolis-based soft-pop indie rock trio Spaceport. Together they create transcendent earthbound space music about you and me and everything in between.
Bad Posture Club is a Minneapolis-based folk duo made up of Maren Day and Morgan Kavanagh. Their songwriting explores themes of home-places, memory, and family, finding inspiration in the strange relationship between human softness and the unyielding societal structures we both participate in, and push against. When reinterpreting traditional folk songs, they carve out space and agency for queer voices. Purposefully open and sparse, they craft intricate and experimental harmonies with their two voices, banjo, guitar, and sometimes a 100 year old pump organ. Bad Posture Club invites the listener to hear the power in quiet, intimate music, and offers warmth and reflection through song.
DPCD is the work of Illinois musician Alec Watson. Taking its name after a four-letter secret code given to him by his great-grandfather, DPCD’s music is intimate and soft-spoken, with Watson's meditative singing illuminated by fragile webs of guitar, piano, and celeste. 2021 saw two new DPCD releases; their third full-length album It's Hard for a Rich Man to Enter the Kingdom of God, and the home-recorded antique curiosity DPCD SINGS. On Rich Man, Watson explores spirituality, anti-capitalism, and ambiguous loss. But rather than lecture on these themes, the album’s eleven songs feel their way through them. Stretches of wordless vocals and strands of repeated melodies lull listeners into a trance, and interlocking tapestries of guitar spin up ghosts of past selves. DPCD SINGS conjures specters of a different sort. A home recording project, the album presents 16 original songs documenting an obsession with the Great American Songbook, its counterparts, and its living forms. The music contains nods to the great musical theater composers of the mid-20th century, the working Tin Pan Alley songwriter, and the common song. Hazed-out barbershop quartets dovetail with lonely piano ballads, lovingly embracing rhyme scheme and form. The verses linger on surrealist themes: specters swirl through dim hallways, mirrors reflect faces of unrequited lovers, and fading memories flicker under the light of the moon. Watson lives and works in Chicago, IL.
