Binion and Bradford will be playing together and solo on acoustic and electric guitars, bass and looping gear.

An Evening with Dead Gowns
7 p.m. Saturday. facebook.com/statetheatreportland
The State Theatre and 98.9 WCLZ invite you to stream an enthralling performance by Portland duo Dead Gowns. Geneviève Beaudoin (vocals, guitar and piano) and Luke Kalloch (baritone guitar and vocals) will play tunes from their 2018 EP “New Spine” and will try out some yet-to-be-recorded songs they’re working on for their debut album. Beaudoin said that she’s been in a Roy Orbison mood lately so the show also might include some covers.
