Presenting...
DUST BOWL FAERIES!

DUST BOWL FAERIES, Accordion-Driven Dark Carnival Music
“A carnival of beguiling delights, ready to whirl you around the dancefloor of your mind” Audiofemme

Dust Bowl Faeries perform a faerie-tale fusion 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.

Get excited as Dust Bowl Faeries is going to be performing this weekend on Friday, July 11th, on the Haddad Subaru Stage at 6:30 & 8PM!
