Runnner, Bloomsday
About This Event
Runnner and Bloomsday perform at the Knitting Factory. Bloomsday works in a free, improvised tradition—often heard at Purgatory and in the DOWNSTAIRS series—moving between open-form ensemble playing and songwriter-adjacent collaboration while treating the room as a responsive instrument. Runnner offers a rock/pop counterpoint of direct melodies and hazy, guitar-forward textures, favoring lean arrangements and clarity over ornament.
