fey: 1.) having or displaying an otherworldly, magical, or fairylike aspect or quality; 2) having visionary power; clairvoyant; 3.) appearing touched or crazy, as if under a spell.
One could apply any or all three of those definitions to the band Fey. Having already become familiar veterans of the Raleigh open mic scene by the age of 18, Angie Gainey and Lindsey Collins continued to hone their craft over the next few years under the name Lady Jade, experimenting with various lineups from duo to quartet, acoustic to electric, and many incarnations between. In 2003, having rechristened themselves Fey and stripped the band back to its acoustic duo roots, they set upon the local music scene again. In 2004, they added seasoned Raleigh drummer Lee Black as a permanent member. Black’s versatility as a percussionist allowed the band to grow into the tight and successful group it is today.Sporting songs with a wisdom that belies their years, the members of Fey have built a steady and loyal following throughout central North Carolina, entertaining crowds at such landmark Triangle venues as Chapel Hill’s The Cave and Raleigh’s The Pour House; busking at Renaissance festivals and on sidewalks; and hitting clubs, record stores, and coffee houses in between. Through it all, there has been one constant: the dynamic and amazing balance between Collins and Gainey, both as songwriters and vocalists. Although one might be inclined to liken them to any number of bands fronted by two women, to label them as such would be an injustice. When Collins’ angelic voice blends with the alternately tender and forceful Gainey’s, they create harmonies that are distinctly Fey.
