The Fernweh

Future Yard CIC

The Fernweh take over Future Yard on Friday 7th March for a night of their very own patented blend of psych-folk rock n roll, playing their eponymous debut album for us live.

The distinctly English, coal-fired translation of the acid-soaked culture of creatively liberated, seventies America, a world of The Magic Roundabout, Anne Briggs, Fairport Convention’s ‘Liege and Leaf’ and Tales of the Unexpected, has left an indelible mark on the psyche and, therefore, the lustrous songwriting of The Fernweh. It is a sound of delicate vocal harmony, slinking organ, manic guitar solos and grounded, kitchen-sink-drama imagery, as revealed in their debut single, The Liar – released on Skeleton Key Records back in the heady days of January 2018.

After a decade or more of playing as able ‘side-men’ to some of Liverpool’s most renowned musical exports, Jamie Backhouse (guitars), Ned Crowther (vocals and guitar) and Oz Murphy (keys/saxophone) gathered together to make the album they always knew they could make, based on a pure and profound love for a golden era for British and US folk rock.
