Blood Feathers are a Rock and Roll band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They were formed in 2005 by Ben Dickey (formerly of Amen Booze Rooster and Shake Ray Turbine) and Drew Mills (formerly of Aspera, currently in Benjy Ferree). The current band consists of Dickey (Vocals, Guitar, and Piano) and Mills (Vocals, Guitar) with Philadelphia musicians Mickey Walker (Bass Guitar), Patrick Marsceill (Drums), Sam Murphy (Guitar), and Tracy Stanton (Saxophone, Percussion, and Keyboard).
Biography
Blood Feathers started as a live performance outlet for song writers Ben Dickey and Drew Mills to showcase new material they had written. Having met through the Philadelphia music scene in the 1990s, by 2005, both Dickey and Mills' bands (Amen Booze Rooster and Apera, respectively) had broken up. Dickey and Mills started performing new material, Folk (music), and Soul (music) covers together at local open mic nights under the moniker Dickey Mills.
Eventually having an album's worth of material, the two went into studio with local Philadelphia friends, Mickey Walker and Quentin Stoltzfus (both of the band Mazarin). With the assistance of Philadelphia producer Brian McTear, the group recorded what would become Blood Feathers debut, Curse and Praise. Walker and Stoltzfus performed as the band's rhythm section on the recording and would eventually play in a revolving cast of musicians that comprised the Blood Feathers live show.
Curse & Praise was released on August 8, 2006 on the Philadelphia based label Box Theory Records,[1]. Magnet Magazine wrote of the album, "Drew Mill's quavering voice -- with its pinch of Donovan, gram of Marc Bolan and healthy dose of Lawrence Hayward -- immediately conjures psychedelic fields and starry skies." [2]. Despite gaining favorable editorial reviews, the album failed to elevate the band into the national spotlight.[3]
