HORSE FEATHERS
“...from Justin Ringle’s sandy-voiced warmth to lush string arrangements to fatalistic lyrics that undercut the sur‐ rounding swirl of sonic comfort food.” —NPR
Horse Feathers, and their re-imagined string ensemble of seasoned players returned to the road following the 2022 Kill Rock Stars re-issue of their 2008 breakthrough release “House With No Home.” Justin Ringle and longtime violinist Nathan Crockett will be backed by additions of upright bass (Luke Ydstie: The Hackles, Blind Pilot), banjo (Kati Claborn: The Hackles, Blind Pilot) and violin (Halli Anderson: River Whyless).
The group will be performing selections from “House With No Home” as well as old favorites, highlighting the acoustic characteristics of earlier orchestral arrangements as well as the energy of recent releases.
