Bad Posture Club + Kenan Serenbetz + Ginger Bones at Icehouse

Bad Posture Club is a Minneapolis-based folk duo made up of Maren Day and Morgan Kavanagh. Their songwriting explores themes of home-places, landscapes, memory, family, and the strange relationship between human softness and the unyielding societal structures we both participate in, and push against. When reinterpreting traditional folk songs, they carve out space and agency for queer female voices. Drawing the listener in with intricate vocal harmony, Bad Posture Club creates intimacy and warmth, inviting togetherness in song.

Kenan Serenbetz creates music that explores relationships to land, other-than-human beings, memory, and identity. His work is steeped in various folk and land-based disciplines. Bringing together his knowledge of local ecology and plant medicine, his songs interpret and express the need for right relationship with the land and the beings that we live with. His music is firmly rooted in pre-industrial vocal traditions, including plainchant, Okinawan sanshin, and American shape note music.

Zack Baltich, Willow Waters and AbbyZak cook up the trio that is Ginger Bones; swirling together intricate, tender percussive elements from Baltich and spicy sweet bass lines from Waters, which, when combined with the oven-roasted bones songwriting of AbbyZak, create a simple nourishing meal for the ears. It’s food music.
