Toadstool Shadow

Toadstool Shadow is an all-original folk trio from the hidden gem city of Chillicothe in southern Ohio. They specialize in a mix of amusing and visionary music, sung in breathtaking two-part female harmony.

From 2019-2022, Toadstool Shadow pioneered the New Fairy Tale Revival art movement, creating "Twin Spheres," a three-part fairy tale opera about a visionary rabbit. The album "Rainbow Nights," part one of the trilogy, was released in 2020. The film and album "Folk Songs of the American Wood Elf," part two of the trilogy, was released in 2021. Part three of the trilogy, "Journey to Glass Mountain," is on hold. 

In "Rainbow Nights," at age seven, Bunny takes shelter from the rain under a toadstool and is transported into a visionary landscape. In "Folk Songs of the American Wood Elf," at age 19, Bunny goes back under the toadstool to figure out whether the visionary landscape was real, a delusion, or a dream. In part three, "Journey to Glass Mountain," Bunny falls in love.
