The songs of Phoebe Hunt & The Gatherers are tours de force of folk and alt-country, beautifully employing fast-paced fiddles and backing vocals on the group’s latest album, Shanti’s Shadow. Hunt’s music is a transformative experience guided by her spiritual foundation. “Though what I create may have its roots in my soul, it first has to pass through the filter of my body and ego before it finds a place in the world,” she says. “Knowing that, my goal for this album was to be as vulnerable and raw as possible in order to share my shadow.”
