Blood Feathers

Blood Feathers are an 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 Butler (Saxophone, Percussion, and Keyboard).


Biography

Blood Feathers started as a live performance outlet for song writers Ben Dickey and Drew Mills to showcase songs they had written. Having met through the Philadelphia music scene, by 2005, both Dickey and Mills' bands (Amen Booze Rooster and Apera, respectively) had broken up. Dickey and Mills started performing new material, Folk, and Soul covers together at local open mic nights under the moniker Dickey Mills.

Eventually having an album's worth of material, the two decided to go into studio with local Philadelphia friends, Quentin Stoltzfus and Mickey Walker, to produce and engineer what would become Blood Feathers debut, Curse and Praise.
