Flash Hawk Parlor Ensemble emerged from porch jam sessions in Portland, Oregon, weaving instrumental acid-folk with spacey Moog and synth textures. The project drew in members of The Decemberists, including Chris Funk and Jenny Conlee, creating a playful, looser approach to touring and recording. Their 2007 release, Plastic Bag in the Tree, on Hush Records, showcased eclectic covers and original compositions that blend folk, psychedelia, and experimental textures. While not a full-time touring act, the ensemble remains a notable chapter in Portland’s indie scene for its collaborative spirit and distinctive sound. Here you’ll find a biography, highlights from their discography, and context for any upcoming appearances or retrospectives. We’ve got you covered with reliable, straightforward information about this influential project.
