Seje and St Anthony Mann

Seje and St Anthony Mann

Wed, Jun 03

6PM DOORS 8PM SHOWTIME $16 Adv (+fees/taxes) $22 Doors (+fees/taxes) 18+ Seje is a new indie folk rock group based out of Eau Claire WI. Members include Sarah Elstran (The Nunnery), Shane Leonard and John Roemhild. For over a decade Sarah has been performing under her solo looping project "The Nunnery" which her etherial live loops feel like a gate into a soundscape to transport the listener. This new project is a completely different genre and songwriting approach that feels raw and relatable to human connection while also making the listener want to dance or start their own band. On stage, St. Anthony Mann takes the shape of a huddled four-piece. Seated in three chairs and a drum throne, the musicians attend to the strings in their hands and pedals at their feet. As a group, their sound is expansive—the effort to keep the musical expanse midair looks more meditative than theatrical. Adam is ballcapped and seen singing in profile. The rhythm section sets the table, friendly and relaxed, while the guitarists loop, condense, expand, and contort their down-tuned, bell-clear guitar tones. The songs often end with a hazy distortion followed by a modest “thanks” directed toward the crowd. Seen from a corner seat, late at night, you know, at a grimy pub, Mann appears like a mirage cousin to a terrific midwestern bar band.
