Foxfeather “Foxfeather’s The Nature of Things is the kind of release that gets music lovers talking and feet tapping. This is one hell of an album that we at Octave Records are excited to share with you. Brilliant songwriting, powerful vocals, and by far one of the best recordings we’ve ever made. The Nature of Things is a must-have musical treasure. Recorded exclusively in pure DSD, this remarkable work is destined to become a classic, one that’ll be heard up and down the halls of audio shows the world over” (Octave Records) “Foxfeather has crafted a soaring song of independence. There’s not an iota of a chance that you could walk away from Foxfeathers’ latest without being inspired” (Melissa Clarke, Americana Highways) “They have a unique sultry, rock and blues based sound. The vocal prowess from Carly Ricks Smith is clear and pronounced the backing harmonies are precise, powerful and elegant. The band provides a solid rock sound, fullness and room to explore on stage. When a lead singer has a range as diverse as Carly, it allows the band to move in many directions. From jazz, folk, rock and blues this band has created a musical gumbo with a lot of different ingredients, textures and likeability” (Backstage Flash) “Foxfeather achieves sonic bliss via their new track titled ‘Come And Get Me’…this future classic [is] a captivating mix of old school soul and modern alt-rock tinge in an #indie scene all too familiar with the bland” (Jammerzine) “Carly Ricks Smith has a spectacular voice which lies somewhere between the folky soprano of a young Joni Mitchell and the jazz-heavy range of Lake Street Dive’s Rachel Price. It’s powerful as well as delicate” (Marquee Magazine). https://www.foxfeathermusic.com/ Katherine Paterson Katherine Paterson is an award-winning singer/songwriter based in Dallas and Austin, TX.
