A dark but beautiful night will be upon us, November 13th, with the haunting instrumentation of Giles Corey, project of Dan Barrett from Have A Nice Life. They’re joined by the lo-fi folk minimalist Kathryn Mohr, and ambient & experimental Val Acton Loper.

“First released in 2011, the self-titled Giles Corey album began with a simple constraint: acoustic instruments only. That boundary opened into something much larger—guitar, piano, ghostly choirs, heavy organ, field recordings, and sudden walls of sound arranged around an intimate singer-songwriter core.
The songs move through depression, death, history, and the paranormal without treating any of them as distant ideas. Quiet desperation gives way to cathartic outburst; private confession becomes communal release. The album and its accompanying book have since gathered a fervent following, often described by listeners in the language of ritual or religious experience.
For the 2026–27 live set, Barrett brings that tension to the stage: stark voice and acoustic instruments, unstable electronics, and arrangements built to move from a whisper to physical impact.”
