The Feelings Parade

The Feelings Parade is a movement as much as it is a band. Led by songwriters Morgan Bolender and Scott Ferreter, the project has developed a loyal following of diehard “Feelers" who come as much for the poetic songwriting, tight harmonies, and rich textures as they do to drop into their own tender human hearts in a space of collective radical vulnerability. The world gives us plenty of reasons to put our guards up. Through songs and stories, they will be sharing our deepest truths and singing down through the layers to arrive at something more honest and brave. Let's meet in a space that is equally reverent to the ache, the challenge, and the pleasure of being human. Let's laugh and cry and move deeper into ourselves and out toward each other!
