To friends, fans, and casual appreciators,
The Ruffled Feathers will be playing the Biltmore on July 6th, and it is set to be my final show with this fine group of musicians.

Since The Ruffled Feathers first breathed life in 2009, we have always seen the World as an equal to our appetite. We have been an ambitious group, seeking to make art well beyond our meagre means, and often surprising ourselves as well as those who appreciate our music.

The reason for my departure is that I am going back to school this Fall. I’ll be starting a Master’s of Cognitive Science at the University of Vienna, which is a long way away from here. This is something I’ve been putting off for the past 4 years, due to my desire to explore the possibilities of music.

There’s been so much to enjoy and to be proud of, during my tenure as music maker and song writer with The Ruffled Feathers.

So please, come out to my last show this Saturday, where some well-loved songs will be retired, and we can celebrate new adventures to be had. A heartfelt thank you to all the people who have ever supported us, come to our shows, or fed and housed us while on the road. Thank you to those who have taken the time to tell us our music has made an impact on their lives.
