Runnner, Bloomsday
About This Event
At the Knitting Factory, Runnner shares a bill with Bloomsday. Bloomsday works in the free, improvised tradition—often heard at Purgatory and in the DOWNSTAIRS series where the room is treated as a responsive instrument—and shifts between open-form ensemble playing and songwriter-adjacent collaboration, favoring risk and attentiveness over polish. Runnner moves between intimate songwriting and a hazier, guitar-forward rock/pop, leaning on direct melodies and lean arrangements.
