Dust Bowl Faeries
The unique compositions of Dust Bowl Faeries have roots in Gypsy, klezmer, and vaudeville music. Accordion, singing saw, ukulele, lapsteel, electric guitar and percussion combine to create the Dust Bowl Faeries’ otherworldly sound. The band was founded by artist-musician Ryder Cooley in 2013. Ryder – who co-hosts the weekly Helsinki Hudson open-mic night – is accompanied by Karen Cole, Jen DuBois and JoAnn Stevelos. Hazel, a taxidermy sheep, performs with the Dust Bowl Fairies as mascot spirit animal/gogo dancer. The group released their debut album (produced by Seth Rogovoy) earlier this year. dustbowlfaeries.com
Luis Mojica
weaves words, chants, and sounds through a loop pedal combining Baroque-style compositions with beatbox and pop percussion. After spending four years in the mountains, Luis has emerged with his debut studio album, titled “Wholesome.” The album features Melora Creager (of Rasputina) on cello and Brian Viglione (of Dresden Dolls/Violent Femmes) on drums. luismojica.com
