The return of the Return the Gift curated series (Series 3) continues with the third installment of four great shows, with three great performing artists featuring Chuck Johnson, Peaces, and Robert Nance.

Doors: 7:30/ Show: 8:00 PM
Donation: $10-25

Chuck Johnson is an Oakland-based composer, producer, and musician who approaches his work with an ear towards the faults and instabilities that reveal latent beauty. Recordings of his work have been published by Western Vinyl, VDSQ, Thrill Jockey, Temporary Residence, Kompakt, Ghostly, and Three Lobed, among others.


Peaces is the interdisciplinary collaboration between Zekarias Musele Thompson and Joshua Wismans, based in Oakland, CA. The project explores the act and possibilities of sound creation as a unifying space, revealing dimensions of peace within and outside of our individual and collective bodies.


Robert Nance is an American composer and producer creating immersive sonic cocoons through the use of guitars, synthesizers, electronics, and field recordings. His works seek to build lusciously abstract environments that invite listeners to engage as actively or passively as their own experience unfolds, and have graced the stages of Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, and SFMOMA. Nance’s second full-length album Do You Believe In Ghosts? released in 2024 as a follow up to his debut album A Musical Offering In Spite Of My Flaws. His first installation work The Spectrum of Dreams’ Resting Light was an acclaimed evening-length meditation opera, and during the lockdown Nance teamed up with long-time dance collaborator Kit McDaniel to present a recurring virtual movement and music event Allow To Realign for participants to enjoy guided movement and ambient music. As a founding member of Mobius Trio, he championed new forms of guitar music from disparate backgrounds. Robert's musical journey began with piano and trumpet lessons, but he never quite felt at home until discovering the guitar and catalogs of post-minimalism composers, pioneers of ambient music, electro-acoustic improvisers, and artful noise. When not making music he can be found loudly screaming at his beloved Pittsburgh Penguins or brewing himself a cup of coffee.
