Mowesby & the Northern Flicker LIVE in the FrontRoom at WCUW!
Advertisement
Mowesby & the Northern Flicker is a post-folk band from Worcester, MA. Their music blends introspective songwriting with atmospheric arrangements and improvisational interplay. Drawing inspiration from artists like Bon Iver, Pink Floyd, Richard Thompson, and Sigur Rós, their folk-fusion unfolds patiently, balancing delicate passages with dramatic full-band crescendos.
The project grew out of Matt Sowersby’s self-produced demo album Go Forward (2020) and took shape through a series of chance encounters. In 2022, violinist Sylvia DiCrescentis joined him for a show at The Middle East in Cambridge, MA. That night, drummer Adam Soucy, playing with another act on the bill, recognized Matt from college and introduced himself after the set. Soon after, Matt began performing with violist Katelyn Mae, and Adam later connected him with bassist Andrew Davis, completing the core lineup.
By 2024, the project had grown into a full band, performing its first show as Mowesby & the Northern Flicker that April and releasing a live recording of “Go Forward” from the set. The band released its first studio single, Love Tangled in the Wind, later that year, followed by Perspective in 2025. Multi-instrumentalist Andy Metzger, who first collaborated with the band in live performances, has since become a permanent member. Their debut EP, The Long & Lonely Wave, releases on April 18, 2026, recently covered in Worcester Magazine and the Sentinel & Enterprise !
