Join College of Western Idaho’s (CWI) Visiting Artist Series in welcoming band, WEND, to Nampa Campus Academic Building (NCAB) on Friday, June 23, for a musical performance.
What started as the compositional musings of multi-instrumentalist Riley Johnson, WEND has grown into a collaborative ensemble whose songs emerge from playful improvisation and experimentation. With classical instrumentation nestled into a traditional rock ensemble, WEND uses soaring harmonies, polyrhythms, and meandering melodic motifs to create pieces that seem almost lost in time, being as much a nod to old-world folk as to contemporary psychedelic pop and progressive rock.
Please join us as WEND performs a number of songs, using vocals, harp, bass guitar, drums, synth, violin, viola, and cello, for our CWI community. Following the performance, WEND will open a question and answer session for audience members.
