The Folk Project Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series presents The Black Feathers and Junior Mack

The Black Feathers—Irish and English-born singer-songwriters Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler—are partners in music and in life, known for their haunting harmonies and natural onstage chemistry. Blending Americana, folk, and acoustic indie rock, their songs feel both timeless and contemporary, with expressive guitar work supporting richly layered vocals.
They have toured extensively across the UK, US, and Canada, appearing at festivals including Philadelphia Folk Festival, Falcon Ridge, and Mile of Music, as well as on NPR’s Mountain Stage. Their performances draw listeners in quickly, with an emotional depth and connection that lingers well beyond the final note.

New York Blues Hall of Fame inductee Junior Mack is a vocalist and guitarist whose soulful style is deeply rooted in gospel and blues. A self-taught musician who began playing in 1968, he has shared the stage with artists including The Allman Brothers Band, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, and Los Lobos.
A founding member of the Grammy-nominated Heritage Blues Orchestra and longtime frontman for Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band, Mack has also appeared on Broadway in Lackawanna Blues, a Critics’ Pick and Drama Desk Award winner. His performances combine powerful vocals, masterful guitar work, and a commanding, deeply authentic stage presence.
