Both in a solo show or full Americana band The 21st Century Shafer has brought his music and audience to esteemed venues such as The Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, The Boulder Theater, The Fox Theatre, Swallow Hill and many more festivals, colleges, clubs all over the country.

They’ve been writing and performing together for nearly 20 years and formed Foxfeather in the fall of 2013. In the 10 years since Foxfeather’s conception, there have been tons of changes, from instrumentation to band size, but Carly and Laura have remained a steadfast constant.
