About this concert
Mike Farris and the Fortunate Few, August 26
After winning a Grammy for his album Shine for All the People in 2015, Mike Farris kept it earthy and personal on Silver & Stone, released in late 2018. The title refers to his wife Julie’s wedding ring, and the album is a celebration of their 25 years of marriage and her steadfastness in sticking by him through his years of struggling with addiction and alcoholism. Now sober for 11 years, 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. Backed by his full soul and blues band, The Fortunate Few, Farris showcases his supersized voice and on-stage charisma with a blistering live show that’s so fun to watch.
“There aren’t many current male singers who use their voices to soar, float and deliver material with the spiritual commitment of Mike Farris.” American Songwriter Magazine
