I saw The Wild Feathers for the first time at Dillinger's and I wrote a bio for Bellarmine's newspaper. Unfortunately, they played the same night as the UofL/Notre Dame 5OT thriller. Bummer.
But it got their promotional two song disc. Couldn't get enough. Thankfully Dawes could not make it to the Bob Dylan show at The Louisville Palace so The Wild Feathers jumped in and impressed enough for a standing O.
There I got their full stuff and dang, it is fantastic. America in a band. Their mesh of vocals is fantastic and their expertise of the craft is amazing.
"I'm Alive" has a great pop/dance beat. "Hard Times" is breezy and sincere. "Left My Woman" is powerful and meant for a lonely ride on an empty highway.
This is one of those bands that few people know now but give it six months and they will be everywhere. They have a great summer ahead of them by opening for Ryan Bingham and playing a festivals like Sasquatch and Forecastle.
The Wild Feathers can play a barn or a palace. See you at Forecastle, guys.
