About this concert
Modern-folk duo Friction Farm, a husband and wife team of traveling troubadours. Aidan Quinn and Christine Stay, combine storytelling, social commentary and humour to create songs of everyday life, local heroes, and quirky observations. Folk Award Finalists, they also won the South Florida Folk Festival Songwriter competition. Their CD, ?Evidence of Hope", reached no. 10 on the Folk Radio Chart, and was inspired by "the collision of strong political polarity with personal kindness; the intersection of fragility and breathtaking beauty." Support will now be provided by the excellent Wickenwood. They are a local duo who sound better with every performance - they even inspired a member of our audience to write and perform their own songs. "We are Indie-Folk duo Wickenwood!?We write and perform acoustic songs inspired by tales of legend and folklore?Join us on our folk driven journey!?'??"

Friction Farm Biography

Modern-folk duo Friction Farm is a husband and wife team of internationally traveling troubadours. Aidan Quinn and Christine Stay combine storytelling, social commentary and humor to create songs of everyday life, local heroes, and quirky observations. From ballads to anthems each song is filled with harmony and hope.
Friction Farm’s lyrically rich, harmony-driven songs have earned them spots as Kerrville New Folk Finalists and Falcon Ridge Emerging Artists. They are winners of the South Florida Folk Festival songwriter competition, have performed as official showcase artists at Regional Folk Alliance Conferences, their CDs have topped the folk dj chart. While many of their songs cover topics of social justice, Friction Farm has found a unique non-judgemental voice that allows thoughtful conversation with an audience. The duo feels at home on the road and on stage. Audiences lean into their stories, laugh at their humor, are inspired to do a little good in the world, and sing along once in a while. Aidan and Christine released a CD of songs inspired by books and, although they don’t plan another, they continue to use books as a source of inspiration. In order to help promote a love of reading and promote literacy among children under age ten, Friction Farm has also written and recorded a collection of songs inspired by children’s books.

He’s from Berkeley CA, she’s from Woodstock NY. When not touring Aidan does some woodworking and Christine bakes. They have a big garden and a small orchard at the sustainable home they designed and built in South Carolina. That they bother to garden though away from home half the year tells you all you really need to know about these two. Once upon a time they had the sort of careers their parents could brag about. Aidan has a degree in geology and managed to put people first in his corporate career. Christine was once a materials engineer but much prefers studying the molecular bonds of words and music.
