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. https://dustbowlfaeries.com/

Deb Cavanaugh
Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and roots singer Deb Cavanaugh lives in the foothills of the Taconic Mountains, in upstate New York. She started making music as a toddler singing before she spoke and singing harmony and rounds by age 3. Her dad exposed her to Classical, Big Band and Jazz. As a teenager, she became enamored with blues, rock and Motown. While studying classical music, she was given the opportunity to sing Duke Ellington’s sacred music in a church choir directed by him. During the mid-70s, Deb met her future husband and hitchhiked with him across the country to San Francisco, jumping into the world of rock and roll. They formed the band General Eclectic. After moving back and forth from coast to coast, sometimes in a VW bus, they eventually found their way to upstate New York. After spending her next twenty years immersed in the folk music community, she now combines all of her musical influences writing and performing songs in a variety of styles.
She plays many genres, including rock and roll, jazz, blues, children's songs, folk and more. She incorporates traditional American culture into her events with the mountain dulcimer and limberjack as well as making crankie rolls, which are moving panoramas that illustrate a song, another folk tradition. Deb also teaches Music Together®, an early-education research-based program for families with young children and classes at Spencertown Academy and Caffe Lena.
They say that variety is the spice of life, and Deb sets out to prove this in her many endeavors.

Daring Coyotes
Daring Coyotes was born under the high deserts winter moon in Joshua Tree as David Clark Carroll coaxed notes out of his mandolin to the howls of coyotes and grew into a hard driving progressive bluegrass band based around David's original compositions. 2019 saw Daring Coyotes hit stages all over Northern California as a trio culminating in a short tour along the Humboldt coast. After moving back east in 2021, David now performs all over New England as Daring Coyotes. Exploring new improvisatory acoustic instrumentals on solo mandolin, singing and playing original folk songs on solo guitar, or leading a psychedelic string band through hard driving original and traditional bluegrass on mandolin and guitar are all potential expressions of the restless musical spirit that fuels David.
