<p>Fern Spores is a femme-folk-rock band hailing from Olympia, WA. Drawing inspiration from musical giants like Janis Joplin, Alabama Shakes, Susan Tedeschi, and The Runaways, Fern Spores infuse their music with a modern edge while paying homage to the raw energy of their predecessors. Gracefully flowing between vintage psych folk, garage rock, clever covers, and soulful Americana ballads they curate a truly original sound. Angsty but uplifting, whimsical yet fierce, and as rock as it is roll. They serve up anthems of empowerment with a sprinkle of sapphic longing and a side of revolt. </p><p>Fern Spores is an all woman project fronted by singer-songwriters Alyssa Nunke and Jade Kovats. Their full band arrangement includes Abbey Ryle (violin), Caroline Robin (Cello,Bass), and Katie Welch (drums). They prioritize working with woman owned venues, other female artists, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Empowerment, sisterhood, and resilience are at the core of their band ethos. </p>
