Horse Feathers

"On Horse Feathers' sixth album, their introverted persona has thawed, revealing a surprising affinity for the joy of Stax-era and countrified-soul." -Pitchfork

"...from Justin Ringle's sandy-voiced warmth to lush string arrangements to fatalistic lyrics that undercut the surrounding swirl of sonic comfort food." -NPR

"The arrangements are beautiful, borderline orchestral, and contribute to an expanding Horse Featherssoundscape... Horse Feathers are forging a new way forward." -Exclaim!

"Horse Feathers has evolved expertly, and Appreciation is a case study in artistic growth." -Pop Matters

Horse Feathers, and their re-imagined string ensemble of seasoned players are returning to the road in the spring of 2022 in support of their April, Kill Rock Stars re-issue of their 2008 breakthrough release "House With No Home." Justin Ringle and longtime violinist Nathan Crockett will be backed by new additions of upright bass (Luke Ydstie: The Hackles, Blind Pilot), banjo (Kati Claborn: The Hackles, Blind Pilot) and violin (Halli Anderson: River Whyless). The group will be performing selections from "House With No Home" as well as old favorites, highlighting the acoustic characteristics of earlier orchestral arrangements as well as the energy of recent releases.

Bluegrass

Weaving together modern and traditional styles of bluegrass and americana, Never Come Down is a Portland, Oregon based 5-piece composed of Joe Suskind (guitar), Crystal Lariza (vocals), Brian Alley (banjo), Kaden Hurst (mandolin), and Ben Ticknor (bass). Their dedication to thoughtful songwriting and dynamic arrangements highlight polished technical skills and a commitment to listening to eachother. Formed in 2018, the band's self-titled debut arrived shortly thereafter, and their second album "Better Late Than Never" was released in 2021. They've toured internationally and have found acclaim from festivals and venues such as Iceland Airwaves, John Hartford Memorial Fest, Americanafest, FreshGrass and RockyGrass.
