Rasputina
Pioneering rock-cello trio Rasputina is back from a long hiatus. Much loved for their twisted takes on classic-rock hits and supremely original originals, this Traveling Ladies Cello Society will touch your heart and scorch your brain. They’ve played in, for or with such greats as Nirvana, Marilyn Manson, Bob Mould and Porno for Pyros. It’s 1896 all over again!
Dust Bowl Faeries
“You can almost smell the gas lamps in the street & the absinthe being poured” Americana Highways
Celebrating their tenth year in 2024, Dust Bowl Faeries perform a faerie-tale medley 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 circus music, murder ballads and Eastern European folk songs. Singing saw, piano accordion, lap-steel, electric bass, percussion and acoustic guitar combine to create the Dust Bowl Faeries otherworldly sound.
Dust Bowl Faeries was founded by Ryder Cooley (‘faerie queen’) and her taxidermy spirit animal, Hazel the Ram. Ryder and Hazel are joined by Jon B. Woodin (‘rocket faerie’), Jude Roberts (‘hobbit faerie’), Ryan Delmolino (‘rebel faerie’) & Rubie LaRue (‘feisty faerie’).
