Mike Farris

Americana, Grammy™ and Dove Award-winner Mike Farris is an artist’s artist and a musician’s musician with multiple solo recordings. Celebrated and revered by his fellow performers, he brings everything to his music and to every live performance, every time. Coming off an incredible GRAMMY win for 2015’s SHINE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE (Best Roots Gospel Album) and with iconic personal appearances including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert honoring Aretha Franklin and his 2018 Grand Ole Opry debut, Farris also released "Silver & Stone" on Compass Records in 2018, returning to his roots as a rocker and soul singer. An amalgamation of the spiritual and the earthly, of gospel and rock ‘n’ roll, of faith and fire, Mike Farris has the energy and conviction of a man saved, a stack of anecdotes and life experiences that would make most people’s heads spin, and a soulful vocal delivery reminiscent of Sam Cooke or Otis Redding.
