Ferris & Sylvester

Ferris & Sylvester are a husband and wife duo from England. For the last seven years, the pair have written, recorded and performed music together and built an every-growing and fiercely loyal fanbase. Their second studio album, ‘Otherness’ is due for release 1st March 2024 and available to pre-order. The 14 track album, released through the duo’s own label Archtop Records, was recorded at their studio to a 1960’s tape machine and sonically ranges across a spectrum of psychedelic folk, blues, rock and soul. The duo explains, ‘this album is for anyone who feels like an outsider. Otherness is defined as being or feeling different in appearance or character from what is familiar, expected, or generally accepted. Ironically, this feeling of otherness is one we all share and experience, orbiting on our own planets’.

Since meeting as solo musicians at the London Blues joint Spiritual Bar, the duo have independently released a collection of singles and EPs, a lot of which they recorded in their South London flat. They climbed to number 14 on Spotify’s UK Viral chart and their songs have been synced across British TV, most notably for BBC’s coverage of Wimbledon. Last year saw F&S release their debut album ‘Superhuman’ about their rollercoaster life on the road. The album reached No.1 in the UK’s Official Blues Chart and picked up ‘UK Album of The Year’ at the 2023 UK Americana Awards.

Praised for their ‘immaculate harmonies’ (Rolling Stone) and ‘rage-ridden brilliance’ (BBC Introducing), the duo have cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting must-see live acts. They have shared stages with Robert Plant, George Ezra and Jade Bird and have played festivals including Glastonbury, SXSW and BST in Hyde Park. The pair have sold out headline tours across the UK and have won fans across Europe, playing festivals and support tours. With a 25+ UK/EU tour on sale for 2024, Ferris & Sylvester continue to ‘build their own world’ (Clash Magazine).
