Dust Bowl Faeries founder, faerie queen Ryder Cooley in conversation with Andrea Cunliffe

Ryder Cooley of Carnial group "Dust Bowl Ferries" is in conversation with HMM's Andrea Cunliffe. Appearing in the Capital Region over the next 10 days, the Dust Bowl Ferries are appearing at the Linda in Albany and in Troy at the Troy Music Hall Square summer program. Dust Bowl Faeries is a dark-carnival band from the New York Hudson Valley. Their eclectic repertoire of songs draw inspiration from circus, post-punk and Eastern European folk music. Accordion, singing saw, ukulele, lap-steel, acoustic guitar and percussion combine to create the Dust Bowl Faeries otherworldly sound. The band was founded by Ryder Cooley (faerie queen) and her taxidermy spirit animal Hazel the Ram. Their Album, The Plague Garden, was released in 2020. The DUST BOWL FAERIES full band will be the Capital Region performing some new songs and a selection of their dark cabaret favorites on THURSDAY AUGUST 19th at 8pm at THE LINDA, and Saturday August 28 for the Troy Music Hall Square summer program.
