Horse Feathers is an indie folk band that hails from Portland, Oregon, founded by singer-songwriter Justin Ringle in 2004. The band's music is distinctly characterized by its blending of melancholic vocals and the lush, intricate arrangements of string instruments, which include the violin, banjo, mandolin, and cello, among others, curating a sound that is both rich in the American folk tradition and refreshingly modern in its execution.

Over the years, Horse Feathers have built a loyal following through their evocative lyrics, emotive melodies, and heartfelt performances. They have a notable discography that showcases their evolution as artists, with albums like "Words Are Dead" and "House With No Home," the latter receiving a deluxe reissue, which serve as testaments to their enduring appeal. "Cynic's New Year" and "So It Is With Us" furthered their reputation for introspective songwriting paired with lush instrumentals, while more recent projects like "Appreciation" reflect the band's continuous growth and refinement. Their live session in Nashville, captured on "Jam in the Van - Horse Feathers (Live Session, Nashville, TN, 2019)," evidences the band's ability to translate their ethereal studio sound into captivating live performances. Horse Feathers remain a staple of the indie folk scene, treasured for their authentic sound and the emotional transparency of their music.
