MURDER MYSTERY SHOW: 7pm

DUST BOWL FAERIES perform a faerie-tale fusion of gothic folk music, infused with a dose of witchcraft and a dusting of woodland magic. The accordion-driven ensemble hails from the NY Hudson Valley and draws inspiration from sinister circus songs, murder ballads and Eastern European folk music. Singing saw, piano accordion, percussion and guitars combine to create the Dust Bowl Faeries otherworldly sound. Dust Bowl Faeries was founded by Ryder Cooley (faerie leader) and taxidermy spirit animal Hazel the Ram. Ryder and Hazel are joined by Jon B Woodin (rocket faerie), Rubi LaRue (feisty faerie), Andrew Stein (time faerie) & Jude Roberts (hobbit faerie).
