HAILING from Cirencester, the Americana folk duo, The Black Feathers have announced a home show within their UK tour, following the release of their EP Strangers We Meet.
They will be playing Cirencester at Ingleside House on Saturday, May 17, and will be playing some new material for the first time.
An award-winning, earthy blend of English folk and American roots, The Black Feathers is the result of a combination of English folk influences, some Irish heritage and a large splash of Americana inspiration and rock sensibilities, all held together with close bluegrass harmonies. The twin voices and one guitar of Sian Chandler and Ray Hughes make music that is aware of the weight of history upon it.
Blending English pastoral sounds, passions of the Celtic fringe and the dark resonance of the American southeast, the result is never short of stunning.
The duo, who have played together for years, made the decision to break away from other projects enabling them to concentrate on writing and performing their own material.
Ingleside House, Beeches Road, doors open at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from The Black Feathers website www.theblackfeathers.com/gigs
