Eddie Owen Presents Stevens Layne + The Black Feathers

Live at Red Clay Theatre in downtown Duluth

Stevens Layne
Molly Stevens grew up in Macon, Georgia, with a rich heritage of music surrounding her. Not only did she come from a very musical family, she also shared her city’s history with performers like the Allman Brothers, Otis Redding and Little Richard. It’s no surprise she found a love for music early on. Stevens packed her bags and moved to Nashville in 2010 to pursue her dreams where she soon met Whitney Layne and the two began writing and singing at local venues in Nashville. Layne was born in the outskirts of Salt Lake City, Utah. Growing up singing with her twin sisters provided Layne with an early love for music. Moving to Nashville in 2007 Layne began pursuing a solo career and had many successes along the way. She teamed up with Stevens to create what was the beginning of a powerful and heartfelt duo. Their voices were pure magic together. Stevens Layne encompasses honest and raw lyrics with a soulful and pure sound.

The Black Feathers
An award-winning, earthy blend of English folk and American roots, 
with tight-as-blood harmony flowing through its veins...
The band is made up of singer/songwriters Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler. Having played together for many years in various projects, they decided to break away and collaborate as a duo, writing and performing their own material. Inspired by advice given to them by Youth [Martin Glover, producer of Dido and the Orb], they set off in search of ancient melodies as a base to build a sound that later became The Black Feathers, drawing their influences from a number of high-quality wells; Americana rubbing shoulders with folk, and edgy rock sensibilities peeking through the tight-as-blood harmonies.
