DORAN

Taking their name from a children’s fantasy novel, Doran is a four-person freak folk collective hailing from rural Virginia, New York City, and the Pacific Northwest. From strong backgrounds in traditional Appalachian ballad singing, Eastern European choral music, close harmony arrangement, and original songwriting, Doran’s music is intimately collaborative, bolstered by their knowledge of folk music and folklore and their exploration of deep listening and improvisation. Rich and often eerie vocal harmonies are supported by sparse acoustic arrangements ranging from sorrowful to playful. Doran’s layered, searching music reaches into the spaces between self and other, past and future, inner landscape and outer, and returns with a new language to describe the journey.
MOLE SUIT CHOIR
Mole Suit Choir is spectral absurdo-miserablist folk orchestrated by Liz Downing, Rupert Wondolowski & Greg Lovey Hatem.

Liz Downing & Rupert Wondolowski spoke of mixing it up one night at the Fair brothers' Shakemore Festival. Then Liz somehow transformed Rupert's poetry into melody. The passing of fellow friend and a startling poet, Chris Toll, onto the astral plane filled them with an urgency to create an aural life raft upon which to float gently on the ravaging waves of time.
