The Far Out

The Far Out is a pop-funk band from the north shore of Massachusetts. All six musicians have been playing together since they were kids - learning and growing through shared experiences in jazz, theatre, a cappella, and orchestra. Now, they engage their audiences with high-energy grooves, powerful vocals, and funky horn lines, supported by undeniable chemistry of a group of lifelong friends.

Taking after the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, and Earth, Wind & Fire, The Far Out is stacked with multiple lead singers and songwriters. Their genre is a cohesion of their individual tastes and influences, brought together by a shared aim to entertain and inspire. You’ll often catch the group of multi-instrumentalists switching roles during their shows, passing guitars around or joining the horn section after belting out lead vocals.

Since their formation in summer ‘21, The Far Out has quickly become a notable part of the north shore and Boston music communities. The band is involved with local organizations such as Lungstrong, Ipswich Caring, Team Haverhill, the Pelican Intervention Fund, and Friends of Ipswich Elementary Schools (FRIES). They’ve become a staple of the summer festival and concert series scene, making appearances at the Castle Hill Summer Concert Series, Marblehead Festival of the Arts, and River Ruckus Festival among others.

In the fall of 2023, the group released their debut EP — self-titled, The Far Out — along with a music video for the single “Long Time Coming.” The 4-song EP was named Indie Boulevard’s Best EP of 2023. Songs from The Far Out EP have been featured on various local stations including 92.5 the River and 95.9 WATD.
