Pressing Strings featuring opening performance by The Whiskey Feathers

Join us for our first show at The David Niven Theater of Oldfields School with Pressing Strings featuring an opening performance by the Whiskey Feathers!

When music is given the benefit of instinct, imagination and inspiration, the results are guaranteed to be good. So it ought to come as no surprise that the critically-acclaimed Annapolis Maryland-based trio, appropriately dubbed Pressing Strings, has infused those elements within their musical mantra the beginning. The band —Jordan Sokel (Guitar/Vocals), Nick Welker (Bass, Vocals), and Justin Kruger (Drums, Vocals) can trace its origins to Sokel’s initial fascination with some iconic influences, among them, the usual suspects — Dylan, Marley, Simon, Withers, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, etc., as well as some more under the radar artists like Taj Mahal, R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and Nick Drake.

Whiskey Feathers are an up-and-coming roots rock band nested in Baltimore, MD. The band’s growing catalog of original music has captured audiences with songs crafted by bandleader Brittain Duckworth, who writes lyrics about heady concepts, absent of the predictable tropes and filled with intention. To get a sense of their sound, imagine the vibe of the “The Last Waltz”, add a healthy dose of Nathaniel Rateliff-esque lead vocals, then pair them with harmonies from The Civil Wars.
