MIKE FARRIS


BIO:
"Mike Farris has enough heart, soul, and power to light up a city. He mixes up the elements and turns them into something new, beautiful, and uniquely his own." --Buddy Miller "Mike’s set was truly dynamic and one of the most thrilling and audacious performances I’ve seen in a long time. His show will be remembered as one of the great highlights of the convention." --Tim Kolleth Alligator Records "Sometimes you have to go through hell to reach heaven, & watching Mike Farris perform songs off "Salvation In Lights" with a full band, I’d have to think someone earned his wings. Fantastic Show bordering on a religious experience." --Larry Timko, WIKX "I’m so glad I saw Mike. I have spent countless hours in the gospel tent at Jazz Fest listening to hardcore black gospel from all over the south and he has the same vibe." --Jim Manion, WFHB, Bloomington If Mike brings this ensemble on the road to a town near you,you had better go because you WILL NOT be disappointed,I guarantee it !!!" -- Big Kev Ploghoft, WXLV, Schnecksville, PA
