Black Prairie is a six-piece string band from Portland, Oregon.

Their first album, Feast of the Hunter's Moon, was released on April 6, 2010, on the Sugar Hill label.

[3][4] The band began when The Decemberists' Chris Funk (dobro) and Nate Query (bass) had some time off from touring and decided to put together a side project.

Other members of the band include The Decemberists' accordion player Jenny Conlee and drummer John Moen, singer and violinist Annalisa Tornfelt of Bearfoot and The Woolwines, and guitarist Jon Neufeld of Dolorean and Jackstraw.

[2] Chris Funk says Black Prairie's sound "bridges the music of Clarence White and Ennio Morricone".
