Faun Fables biography[folkrock][musicrequest]

Duo consisting of singer-songwriter Dawn McCarthy (lead vocals, acoustic guitar) and guitarist Nils Fryfdahl of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum (second vocals and almost the rest of the instruments) 
who develop a world of their own, based on the folk myths and their rock roots. This gives a strange kind of folk rock that is quite weird and inventive and certainly fits in the Wyrd Folk realm. 
Claiming their influences in 70's folk like Perhacs, the Roche Sister, Art Bears, theatre music hall tradition and 70's UK folk rock, FF is a truly unique experience as their theatre work gives them an edge that few other groups have.

Dawn McCarthy is a northern pacific native that travelled all over the States including a stint in NY working with experimental theatre, then met up with Nyls (who had a similar background) 
then relocated in California and released the four Faun Fable albums (so far), compiled from works dating as far back as 93. Nyls Frykdahl is also known from Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.

Off the wall lyrics and bizarre melodies, their strange world oscillates between the strange eerie RIO sides of News From Babel (of Transit Riders) to the conventional singer-songwriter of their debut album, 
the whole thing fitting quite well in the Wyrd Folk mould that FF have contributed to develop in the last decade.
