Co-Bill: The Black Feathers and Junior Mack

The Black Feathers—Irish and English-born singer-songwriters Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler—are partners in music and in life, known for their haunting harmonies and natural onstage chemistry. Blending Americana, folk, and acoustic indie rock, their songs feel both timeless and contemporary, with expressive guitar work supporting richly layered vocals.

They have toured extensively across the UK, US, and Canada, appearing at festivals including Philadelphia Folk Festival, Falcon Ridge, and Mile of Music, as well as on NPR’s Mountain Stage. Their performances draw listeners in quickly, with an emotional depth and connection that lingers well beyond the final note.
