Trailblazers of avant-folk music, Faun Fables is making a special stop at The Legs on their Album Release Tour: COUNTERCLOCKWISE! Plus, Alan Shikoh (a Barking Legs Wednesday Night Jazz favorite) opens for Faun Fables.
FAUN FABLES have been trailblazers of avant-folk/original music since the turn of the century; known for exquisite, visceral songs & live shows and the occasional theater piece.
Their work became internationally widespread by 2004 with the DRAG CITY RECORDS debut FAMILY ALBUM; the group has seasonally toured grass roots, night club, theater & festival circuits in the USA, Europe, UK, Israel & Oceania. Their new album, ‘COUNTERCLOCKWISE’ marks their eighth album with the label, officially released May 2025. The songs and production offer the most encompassing, richly lived-in sonic world of all their releases. Their timeless 'songtelling' practice is entwined with a holistic view of a life in music - celebrating the mundane details of home and family, elevated by a mystical and fantastical perspective. See/hear the first single, EMBER BELL*
DAWN McCARTHY's voice (which THE NEW YORKER described as “one of the more compelling instruments in contemporary music") opens hearts and minds from a whisper to a rallying battle cry into her mythical world, animated by the adventurous musicality and vocals of partner NILS FRYKDAHL (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum). Their daughters, growing up alongside the writing, recording and touring since babies, now join them with additional vocals, flute, keyboard, bass and percussion. The first leg of live shows in the States this summer will feature the elemental guitar work of Norwegian musician Arild Hammerø; who can be heard on EMBER BELL and other tracks of 'COUNTERCLOCKWISE'. Faun Fables are currently based in Nevada County, California.
Doors open at 7:00pm | Show starts at 7:30pm
