The Black Feathers - Soaked to the Bone (2016)

The Black Feathers are the perfectly paired voices of Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler, which intertwine effortlessly to create a sound combining elements of folk, roots, alt-country and americana.They married in 2012, which also marked the beginning of their musical adventure as The Black Feathers. Whether playing to a 1,500 strong audience at the Colston Hall in Bristol, or to 80 crammed in to the Green Note in London, The Black Feathers give an intimate performance that draws the listener in to a special, strong and unique bond between two people. The band have wasted no time in getting their music heard in venues around the UK, playing a multitude of shows and festivals up and down the country. Within their first year they were awarded the '5 Valleys Folk award' and the following year also picked up the 'Folkstock Arts Foundation' award for best live performance. "Soaked To The Bone" is their debut full-length, following their 2015 5-track EP "Strangers We Meet", which received BBC Radio 2 plays, and excellent press in The Sunday Times, Telegraph amongst others, as well as landing them a Bob Harris "Under The Apple Tree" session.
