“Led by front woman Arrah Fisher, The Philadelphia based Arrah and the Ferns meld many sounds of folk, country, blues, indie-rock, and pop. Fisher’s unique voice guides listeners into a world of emotion with a backdrop of various instrumentation such as dueling guitars, wurlitzer, and banjolin. Their sound is not easily defined as their direction has changed a number of times since their inception …in 2005. Their debut album, “Evan is a Vegan” (Standard Recording, 2006), was a stripped down collaboration of then 20-year-old Fisher, Carl Stovner, and Dave Segedy. The album contained quirky and infectious songs of pop and folk with simple arrangements over tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
Over the years, and through members coming and going (Arrah is now the only original member), the style and undertone has grown darker and strongly feminine. After the 2010 release of their sophomore album, All the Bad in One Place, their sound has become more of a 4-piece alt-country band reminiscent of Neko Case and Laura Veirs. Members now include Ryan Belski on lead guitar, Mike Harkness on drums, and Buddy Szczesniak on bass. They’re third release, a 6-song EP, is set to be out in October 2011.”
