The Nunnery + Joe Westerlund + Trever Hagen Concert

Join us for The Nunnery and Joe Westerlund//Trever Hagen's debut concert at the Pump House Regional Arts Center. The Nunnery begins with one voice, layered upon itself, becoming a lush soundscape. Sarah Elstran is an independent musician who bridges the gap between bright-eyed pop composition and hands-on atmospheric live layering of voice. Her vocal loops give us the kind of detail and wide multi-octave range that we might come to expect from a marquee pop star, while her production decisions continually keep us guessing as to what rabbit holes her tracks might fall into next. A musical project born from a long-running friendship, beginning during their Midwestern childhood, and followed by intermittent distance across regions, countries and cultures, Joe Westerlund and Trever Hagen are metamorphosing from their individual solo practices into a comprovisational duo. The sound world these two inhabit pays respect to the lineage of trumpet/ drum combinations found in the jazz and ambient idioms, while reaching back to the pairing’s advent in ancient battle cries.
