The Black Feathers, Irish and English-born singer-songwriters Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler are currently residing in Wales, UK — married in life and to the stage since 2012. Over the last few years, they have been spreading their wings across the US and western Canada.

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 is the stage chemistry that will keep them riveted.

Direct support: Steve Winwood, Ray Davies, John Gorka “They are one of the finest harmony duos in the UK, writers of gloriously sad ear-worms, and heavenly harmonisers with a telepathic understanding” – Gavin McNamara (Bristol24/7) “These guys sing like conjoined angels” – John Cowan US Festivals played: Juan de Fuca Festival-WA, Kate Wolf Festival-CA, Mile of Music-WI, Philadelphia Folk Festival-PA, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, CT Live Syndicated Radio appearances: WUWF Radio Live Pensacola, NPR’s Mountain Stage w/Kathy Mattea
