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 U.S. and western Canada and finding themselves on the stages of Juan de Fuca Festival (WA), Kate Wolf Festival (CA), Mile of Music (WI), and Philadelphia Folk Festival (PA).

Americana, folk, and acoustic indie rock sensibilities co-exist 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 keeps them riveted.  

“They are one of the finest harmony duos in the UK, writers of gloriously sad ear-worms, and heavenly harmonisers with a telepathic understanding.”
