Dead Gowns, Helenor, Bloomsday

Remembering it over and over again: the way it happened in Vegas, the way beginnings spill over onto endings. Geneviève Beaudoin, the Portland, Maine-based songwriter, went to Las Vegas to help a close friend move and start a new life there.

Helenor is a Rock/Pop artist heard on New York City stages, including sets at the Knitting Factory. On bills with Travess and TALK BAZAAR, the performance context often leans toward the small-room, scene-driven side of the city’s live music ecology.

Bloomsday is a New York City group working in the free and improvised tradition, often heard at Purgatory. Their sets move between open-form ensemble playing and songwriter-adjacent collaboration, sharing bills with artists like DJ TK, Porcelain Vivisection, and Grace Givertz.
