Starting off tonight’s show is a set from Dust Bowl Faeries recorded at The Linda for our Open For Takeout Virtual Concert Series. Dust Bowl Faeries is a dark-carnival band from New York. Their eclectic repertoire of songs draw inspiration from circus, post-punk and Eastern European folk music. Accordion, singing saw, ukulele, lap-steel, guitar and percussion combine to create the Dust Bowl Faeries otherworldly sound. The band was founded by Ryder Cooley and Hazel, a disembodied taxidermy ram who performs with the Fairies as their mascot-spirit animal. Ryder and Hazel are joined by Rubi LaRue, Jon B. Woodin, Liz LoGiudice & Andrew Stein. Their debut self-titled album, produced by music critic Seth Rogovoy, features Tommy Stinson (Replacements) & Melora Creager (Rasputina). The band released two EP’s with producer Floyd Fisher in 2018 and 2019, and their new album, The Plague Garden, co-produced by Mike Schoonmaker, was released in November 2020. Dust Bowl Faeries have been working with filmmaker Lisa M. Thomas/Thin Edge Films on a series of music inspired videos, including (most recently) Candy Store, a music novella, which premiered on MXDWN magazine in October 2020. I also had a chance to interview the band during the show so you can get to know them a little bit. So have a listen to Dust Bowl Faeries Recorded Live at The Linda WAMC’s Performing Arts Studio February 22nd 2021
