“Sheer poetic beauty both lyrically and musically.”
 Cryptic Rock ★★★★★

The ability to write songs that feel both modern and ancient is a rare gift. It requires an arcane art—weaving traditional influences so thoroughly into the music that they become the warp and weft of entirely fresh creations.

Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler — The Black Feathers — possess just such talent. After discovering a profound musical chemistry while collaborating on various projects, they became life partners and bandmates in 2012.

In their musical world, Americana, folk, and acoustic indie rock sensibilities coexist effortlessly. Hughes’ driving guitar work perfectly buoys the kind of breathtaking harmonies usually only heard in family bands. Their music captures a listener’s interest, while their undeniable stage chemistry keeps audiences riveted.

With a loyal following in the UK, The Black Feathers are spreading their wings across the US, performing at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Kate Wolf Music Festival, and AmericanaFest. They have also earned prestigious official showcases at International, North East Regional, and Far-West Folk Alliance conferences.
