Furia is an ensemble of innovative musicians including Northfield’s own, Meredith Fierke (vocals, guitars and banjo), Steve McKinstry (B3 and pump organ) and Schuyler Petersen (mandola, guitar & banjo) Cities 97 Sampler Volume Number 21 Artists “Fierke falls somewhere in the space between songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, and Cat Power” — City Pages. Furia crafts unexpected combinations of color and counterpoint. Soaring vocal melodies and intricate instrumentation, reminiscent of 19th century art music, are joined with a “glass scraping metal-edged” soundscape of the industrial world creating a unique “dirty-pretty” aesthetic. The show will feature a gallery exhibiton in the Carlander Gallery debuting a line of jewelry by Jessica Prill, inspired by Furia’s music.
