Portrait of a Drowned Man is an instrumental post-rock collective composed of Paul Connolly, CJ Keller, Justin Kervina, Ken Nyberg and Aaron Richner. The band has been not-so-quietly making a name for itself in the Duluth music scene with its towering wall-of-sound performances over the past 20 years. Known for its experimental tendencies, the guitar-heavy band frequently collaborates with filmmakers, features guest musicians for one-off performances, and engages in live improvisational sets. Sessions for the group’s fourth studio album were sidelined by the pandemic, leading to a years-long hibernation. Now inspired to complete that nearly forgotten album, PoaDM is working toward a new release in 2025.
