About this concert
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.

My first X seeing Mike live.
When Mike took the stage I noticed he seemed to have an Elvis Presley-like hair cut and his glasses were reminiscent of Elvis Costello. In other words, he seemed to radiate a 'double Elvis' vibe. I wondered if this was a deliberate or unconscious choice, or, if it could just be a product of my imagination. Regardless, I concluded it was an indication that my spouse and I were about to experience an extraordinary live performance...and it was.
Since my first concert in 1966, I've attended lots of shows over the past 58 years and I can say unequivically, Mike's voice is a wonder to behold. He gave us, the audience, an immensely impressive, emotionally rich, and often soul-quickening experience. In other words, this show was a blast. Mike was top notch, start to finish and I suspect he seldom, if ever, gives less that all he's got to give.
Turned out, my double Elvis premonition was spot on.
