Silver Fern

Silver Fern is a 4-piece band from Huntsville, Alabama. The project is based on the songwriting of singer/guitarist Shannon Wrenn. Shannon's songcraft and naturalistic imagery set the scene where her melodies float over dynamic band arrangements. The heavy pump of bass and drums provide the backbone for layers of echoing slide guitar, and Fripp and Eno-esque pedalboard looping.

The sound has been described as dream pop, prog, shoegaze, bedroom pop, folk, post rock, etc. Silver Fern presents a synthesis of all these elements, particularly in live sets sprinkled with covers ranging from UK trip-hop pioneers Portishead to Brazilian songwriter Antonio Carlos Jobim. The band features members of Obed Edom, Rob Aldridge and The Proponents, Glimpse, and Camping in Alaska. Their self-titled 5 song Silver Fern EP was released on Bandcamp and streaming services in 2019. The follow-up full length album is currently being recorded and will be released in 2021.

Time-stopping indie-rock from this young Huntsville quartet.
