A double-bill featuring two of the Hudson Valley's most creative, ethereal chamber-folk groups.Dust Bowl Faeries is an electro-acoustic, multimedia gothic-folk ensemble led by artist-musician Ryder Cooley and featuring Sara Ayers, Karen Cole, Jen DuBois, JoAnn Stevelos, and Hazel, a transgender taxidermy sheep. Melora & Luis are Melora Creager, the founder/leader of the all-cello rock group Rasputina, and Luis Mojica, the internationally renowned pianist and experimental vocalist.
Dust Bowl Faeries combine otherworldy, girl-group harmonies with unique instrumentation - including accordion, musical saw, ukulele, lap-steel guitar, keyboards, and percussion to put across Ryder Cooley's original-yet-ancient modern-day fables of the mystical world between waking and dreaming. Capital Region rock critic Michael Eck described them as, "At once winsome and terrifying, charming and bold."

A visual artist and jewelry designer for top names, including Erickson Beamon, Anna Sui, Donna Karan, Barney's New York, and Vogue magazine, Creager is widely credited with helping to birth the freak-folk and Steampunk movements. Luis Mojica is a pianist and performer who creates vocal layers and beat box percussion through a looping pedal. Together, Melora & Luis combine their love of classical composition, timeless themes, and hip-hop beats to create a new sound that draws from rock, opera, classical, hip-hop, avant-garde and folk.
