Rainshadow Recording will welcome United Kingdom-based singer-songwriter duo, The Black Feathers, for a concert at the Palindrome in Eaglemount Cidery later this month.

The Black Feathers will perform their Americana, folk, and acoustic indie rock-influenced tunes at 7:30 p.m. Thursday,
May 19.

The ability to write songs that are both modern and ancient is a rare thing. The product of an arcane art of weaving in traditional influences so thoroughly that they become the warp and weft of fresh creations.

The Black Feathers, made up of Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler, are two such talents. They first became aware of their shared magic while collaborating on several musical projects, becoming The Black Feathers and life partners in 2012.

“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,” said Black Mountain News of North Carolina.

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’s the stage chemistry that will keep them riveted.

Having already built up a loyal following in the U.K, the Black Feathers have been spreading their wings across the U.S. They have performed at Philadelphia Folk Festival and AmericanaFest, and have also been awarded official showcases at the North East Regional and Far-West Folk Alliance conferences.

This concert series is produced by Rainshadow Recording as part of a collaboration with Matt Miner, former producer of the Northwind Songs concert series held at Northwind Arts Center before the pandemic.

Tickets are $20 each at blackfeathers.brownpapertickets.com or at the door.

Proof of vaccination is required for entry.
