To celebrate their ten year anniversary in 2024, Dust Bowl Faeries perform a faerie-tale medley of dark cabaret and gothic polka music, infused with a dose of witchcraft and a dusting of woodland magic featuring special guest Melora Creager (of Rasputina) at Amanda Palmer's Graveside Variety listening room in Woodstock NY. The accordion driven freak-folk ensemble hails from the New York Hudson Valley and draws inspiration from circus music, murder ballads and Eastern European folk songs. Singing saw, piano accordion, acoustic guitar and electric bass combine to create the Dust Bowl Faeries otherworldly sound. Dust Bowl Faeries was founded by Ryder Cooley (faerie queen) and her taxidermy spirit animal, Hazel the Ram. Ryder and Hazel are joined by Jon B. Woodin (rocket faerie) and Jude Roberts (rocket faerie) for this special trio performance, with special guest Melora Creager on cello.

Singer-songwriter/cellist MELORA CREAGER is the founder of the cello rock band Rasputina. Melora has released numerous albums via her own label, Filthy Bonnet, and with Columbia Records. Over the years she has performed/recorded with the likes of Nirvana, Marilyn Manson, Siouxsie Sioux, and Voltaire. Melora will be joining Dust Bowl Faeries on cello at Graveside Variety.
