Festival of Faeries

Super excited to announce that

Ashtyn Barbaree

will be performing at Festival of the Faeries - Oct 2021

! She's a personal favorite and veteran of our event. She has a super sweet voice with catchy melodies and she's an internationally touring Americana singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. To say she's talented is an understatement, because she's truly a GIFT to NWA music scene, worthy of being called an ambassador for our region because she leads by example of what a local celebrity ought to emulate. We love you Ashtyn! And we think you'll love her too! See you there!

We're proud to announce the sounds of Scotland at the Festival of the Faeries - Oct 2021 this year!

Devin Topf Music

will be performing on traditional highland bagpipes both days at the faerie revival. I don't know about you, but I can't get enough of the bagpipes and it's a special treat to have a piper right here in NW Arkansas! He will be performing both days at different times, so if you cannot catch his performance one day, get here for the other. Times announced as we have the entertainers all lined up.

Share, and click "going" or "interested" to show some love to our magical community.

Festival of the Faeries - Oct 2021 is proud to announce that

Patti Steel is an astonishing multi-instrumentalist, soulful singer/songwriter and visual artist based out of Northwest Arkansas. She is inspired by many artists such as Shery Crow, Patsy Cline, Aretha Franklin, Doreen Ketchums and so many more. Her music styles incorporate anything from American roots music, blues, jazz and beyond.

How about some local riffs and tunes by

Chris Ramirez

! At our last event, he performed with his faithful little canine companion, his singing dog. Alas we are sad to report that his furry little bandmate will not be joining us this year as doggie heaven has welcomed the pet performer to sing with the angels. But Chris is still making music and will be joining us as at Festival of the Faeries - Oct 2021
Chris Ramirez is back this year with more music, and also our firewood provider. Big shout for making the bonfire possible!

Festival of the Faeries - Oct 2021 is proud to present,

TownHouseFire (Band)

, a 3-piece Americana-rock band based out of Joplin, Missouri. The talented trio combines tasty elements of rock, jazz, metal, classical and more in to their own brand of toe-tappin' tunes.

Originating in 2016, the band consists of frontman, Abiel Chavez, bassist Cody Bridgewater, and drummer Chris Cupp. Though there's been cosmetic changes along the way, the band has stayed true to their signature sound through the years. The forefront of that sound being mighty vocals, and a powerful acoustic guitar; driven by a thumping bass and a human metronome on the drums!

Festival of the Faeries proudly presents Autumn Shade
...haunting, ethereal, naturistic, bohemian, folk music.

a pendulum swing from raw + organic as though stepping into an abandoned barn upon a forgotten meadow to ancient + haunting as though exploring castle ruins in a gypsy village. there are elements that suggest eerie swamps of louisiana, concocted remedies tucked away in ozark mountain forests, nighttime among the alleyways of france, or wild prairie lands of the old midwest america. these are all within jes leneè, the songwriter's, roots.

she displays this vividly with her delicate yet intense fairy-like vocals, folky picking + strumming on guitar + banjo, jumping accordion waltzes + dreamy flowing piano playing.

her lyrics are full of naturistic inspiration, global influence, + poetic abstraction, which weave the tapestry together to make a unique arrangement of atmospheric simplicity.

the songs are highlighted by the synergy of musical guests including the extraordinaire, nathan wright (banjo, xylophone, bells, autoharp, accordion, etc + producer of Isabelle), sharla ember (violin, hammered dulcimer), wesly rowe (percussion), jordan hehl (upright bass), + various others who have played on albums of the past.

autumn shade has released 2 full albums, Ezra Moon (strange attractors audio house out of Portland, Oregon) + Isabelle Has Wings (self released) + 2 rare ep's as well as been featured on numerous compilations + albums with Seventh Crow Records + More Than Folk Records out of Paris, France.

Festival of the Faeries is proud to feature Dzevana on the main stage! Their music is an experience that will take you into an eastern-influenced fantasy with uncommon instruments most westerners are unfamiliar with... hand drums, ethnic beats, frolicking stringed acoustic melodies with jolly themes. Dzevana brings PaganFolk to the Ozarks with a unique blend of hurdy gurdy and oud, drums and dance songs. Presenting tunes from across Europe and the Middle East, this trio of long-time TerraNova Tribal performers will have you on your feet and dancing with the fey. More info click here

Featured performer: Festival of the Faeries proudly presents Ashtyn Barbaree, a young folk singer/songwriter with an old soul from Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA. She has a smokey, yet silky voice often accompanied by a tenor 8-string ukulele.
Her self-titled debut album was recorded at the Butcher Shoppe Studio (Nashville, TN, USA) and released April 2018. She spent time in the studio alongside some remarkable musicians!
She performs 300 shows a year across the US and will be doing her first European tour Fall 2018 as an ambassador for The House of Songs. See more about this entertainer: click here.

Skye Pollard! On the main stage. Born in Memphis, TN and raised in the heart of Cotton and Rice country in the Mississippi Delta, Skye realized a natural talent for music and a love of the blues at an early age. Since the first time he stepped foot on a stage at the age of 6, Skye's dream, and passion, has been music. His raw and unbridled sound is an extension of his soul, which he pours into every performance, and leaves a piece of himself in every song he writes. Skye's music is very personal, yet his music has a way of resonating with others as if it had been written just for them. This is one up and coming artist you don't want to miss!
