Setting at AyurPrana Listening Room

The Scoop

North Carolina trio Setting comes to AyurPrana Listening Room on Saturday, May 16th. Doors open at 6 PM with the show beginning at 7 PM. The group — Jaime Fennelly, Nathan Bowles, and Joe Westerlund — brings together synthesizers, cassette loops, banjo, keyboards, electronics, and zithers in performances that emphasize texture, rhythm, and collective flow. All three members carry substantial individual pedigrees: Fennelly through Mind Over Mirrors, Bowles through Black Twig Pickers and collaborations with Jake Xerxes Fussell, and Westerlund through his years with Califone and Sylvan Esso. As Setting, they pool those approaches into something genuinely distinct — patient, detailed, and alive. Tickets are $21.49 via DICE. This is an all-ages show in APLR's seated listening room — the right context for music this carefully constructed.
