DUST BOWL FAERIES, Accordion-Driven Dark Carnival Music
A carnival of beguiling delights, ready to whirl you around the dancefloor of your mind – Audiofemme
Film Noir video:
Dust Bowl Faeries perform a faerie-tale of dark cabaret and gothic polka music, infused with a dose of witchcraft and a dusting of woodland magic. The accordion driven freak-folk ensemble hails from the New York Hudson Valley and draws inspiration from sinister circus songs, murder ballads and Eastern European folk music. Singing saw, piano accordion, lap-steel, bass, percussion and acoustic guitar combine to create the Dust Bowl Faeries otherworldly sound.
The ensemble has toured internationally and has released several recordings including Magic & Mayhem (2024) featuring Melora Creager of Rasputina on cello, Carnival Dust (2023) featuring harpist Mikaela Davis and a debut album featuring Tommy Stinson of The Replacements/Guns N’ Roses.
Dust Bowl Faeries was founded by Ryder Cooley (faerie queen) and taxidermy spirit animal Hazel the Ram. Ryder and Hazel are joined by Jon B Woodin (rocket faerie), Jude Roberts (hobbit faerie) and Andrew Stein (time faerie) for this special quartet performance.
