Description

Our Covid-19 Guidelines require attendees to be fully vaccinated. Mesmerizing and magical The Black Feathers are returning to perform at Folkus after mesmerizing our audience in 2018. Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler first became aware of the magic between them while collaborating on several musical projects.  They became life partners and The Black Feathers in 2012. With their unique ability to weave together traditional and modern influences, they continue to create magic.   Americana, folk, and acoustic indie rock sensibilities coexist comfortably in their musical world, with Hughes’ guitar work buoying the kind of harmonies often only heard in family bands. Their music quickly draws the interest of listeners, but it is the stage chemistry that will keep you riveted. Having already built up a loyal following in the UK, The Black Feathers have been spreading their wings across the US. They have performed at the Philadelphia Folk Festival and AmericanaFest, and have also been awarded official showcases at the NorthEast Regional and Far-West Folk Alliance conferences. ​The Covid-19 pandemic brought their Spring 2020 tour to an abrupt end, returning them to their UK home. The world gave us all a pandemic and The Black Feathers will give us an extensive tour with their new album Angel Dust & Cyanide. Their tour takes them from the west coast to the midwest and ends up on the east coast—including Folkus--in late Fall 2022.  ​“Once in a blue moon, the whole soars far above the sum of its parts. That’s what happens when The Black Feathers perform live.”  --Black Mountain News, North Carolina “...stunning harmonies that were so good it reminded me of seeing Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.”  --No Depression, The Journal of Roots Music https://theblackfeathers.com/ Visit Folkus.org to learn about The Folkus Project and our other shows.
