Clock-Out Lounge Presents:  The Keening  w/ Serpentent, Tiny Vipers   Saturday September 16th 8:30 doors 21+ $15adv/$18dos  https://www.facebook.com/thekeeningmusic The Keening—the solo music project of Rebecca Vernon—weaves a web of lush orchestration, American Gothic sensibilities and wintry murder ballads set against a backdrop of dark, shimmering folk. Vernon’s previous band SubRosa echoes in The Keening’s chamber doom, flowing with flute, strings, harp, French horn, piano, organ and hammered dulcimer. Ultra-melodic forays into haunted bogs, endless wells, secret crimes, jeweled cages and the unenviable curse of being a murder witness abound. Dark as this sounds, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Rebecca Vernon was the owner, lead singer, guitarist and primary songwriter of Salt Lake City’s acclaimed SubRosa. She ended that 13-year project in 2018 to focus on The Keening. Celebrated “Engine-ear” and bassist Billy Anderson collaborated with Vernon and Witch Mountain drummer Nathan Carson as co-producers on the recording of the album. A host of Portland’s finest session musicians lent their talents to the album, including Andrea Morgan of Exulansis on violin. Anderson, Carson, and Morgan form the nucleus of Vernon’s new live backing band, as well. The Keening is primed to release this brand new album via Relapse Records in 2023. More information about the album will be made available in the weeks and months to come. https://serpentent.bandcamp.com/ http://www.annekoneill.com/ https://tinyvipers.bandcamp.com/
