Black Prairie

Black Prairie is a five-piece bluegrass-influenced band from Portland, Oregon. The band formed in early 2007. Their first album, Feast of the Hunter’s Moon, was released on April 6, 2010 on the Sugar Hill label.

The band began when The Decemberists' Chris Funk, having discovered the joys of the Dobro guitar, and Decemberists' bassist Nate Query had some time off from touring and decided to put together a mostly instrumental and acoustic string band as a side project.
