Mowesby & the Northern Flicker is a post-folk band from Worcester, MA. Their music blends introspective songwriting with atmospheric arrangements and improvisational interplay.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Bon Iver, Pink Floyd, Richard Thompson, and Sigur Rós, their folk-fusion unfolds patiently, balancing delicate passages with dramatic full-band crescendos.
The project grew out of Matt Sowersby’s self-produced demo album Go Forward (2020) and took shape through a series of chance encounters. In the ensuing years, musicians Silvia DiCrescentis (strings) , Katelyn Mae (strings), Adam Soucy (drums), Andrew Davis, (bass) and multi-instrumentalist Andy Metzger joined Matt, becoming Mowesby & the Northern Flicker.
Their debut EP, The Long & Lonely Wave, was recently covered in Worcester Magazine and the Sentinel & Enterprise.
