The Black Feathers (Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler) is a
Gloucestershire, UK-based husband and wife folk and roots music duo who have
drawn comparisons to Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings and The Civil Wars.
Their original songs weave in traditional influences so thoroughly that they
become the warp and weft of fresh creations, while their on-stage chemistry is
riveting. 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.
Together as both as a musical duo and life partners since
2012, The Black Feathers have amassed a loyal fan base on the other side of the
pond and a growing one here. The duo has performed at the Philadelphia Folk
Festival and AmericanaFest and secured coveted official showcases at the 2023
Folk Alliance International Conference in Kansas City and those of two of its
regional affiliates. The Black Feathers previously performed an online
Hard Luck Café concert in June 2021. (theblackfeathers.com)
