    About This Event

    Runnner and Why Bonnie play Union Pool in a lineup that pairs intimate, guitar-forward songwriting with a hazier, shoegaze-tinged approach. Runnner favors direct melodies set against atmospheric textures and keeps arrangements lean, with performances that emphasize clarity and pacing. Why Bonnie, led by Blair Howerton and formed in Austin before relocating to Brooklyn, centers direct melodies within a hazy palette; recorded work includes 2022's 90 in November and Wish on the Bone, scheduled for 2024.
