Joseph Dee Bradshaw, Hannah Broback/Noel Kennon, Related Gestures (Ryan Sullivan)
A Night of Music
Friday, April 10
Doors 7:00pm | Show 7:30pm
TICKET LINK IN BIO

PWNW welcomes old friends and new—artists from Oakland, Seattle, and Portland— to our space for a night of fingerstyle compositions on acoustic guitar; sustained harmonies and slowness on viola and violin; and poetic pop reflections by a singer/songwriter.

Joseph Dee Bradshaw is a guitarist based in Oakland. His first solo album, The Conversion, released in 2025, features several long-form acoustic fingerstyle compositions. On his second album, The Lavender Promise (forthcoming later this year), he continues the fingerstyle explorations with a more improvisational approach, offering up several spontaneously composed pieces. Aside from his solo work, he is (alongside poet/theraminist Andrew Joron) one half of the free improv duo Fornax Linteum. Their self-titled EP is forthcoming imminently. https://josephdeebradshaw.bandcamp.com/album/the-conversion

Hanna Broback / Noel Kennon (violin/viola) the work takes on different structural forms but its sounding surface tends to reflect sustained harmonies and slowness. this practice involves music making but more importantly slow walks far into the woods/mountains to observe natural sounding sites like waterfalls, rivers, wind , etc… for this evening of music the duo will improvise with their idiosyncratic musical syntax, developed over time spent together.

Related Gestures is the new solo music project from musician and filmmaker Ryan Sullivan. What began as a poetic pop reflection on the nature of human ambition quickly expanded into a wider exploration of telepathic love connections, impermanence, and creative flow states.
