Mike Farris & the Roseland Rhythm Revue

If the music of Lou Reed and Otis Redding spawned a love child, Mike Farris’ musical genius would be the offspring. While the 2007 Salvation in Lights catapulted Farris into the spotlight, it was his extraordinary live performances that led to the 2008 Americana Music Award’s “New/Emerging Artist of the Year.” Backed by his nine-piece Roseland Rhythm Revue, Farris’ rafter-raisin’ boogie stew will light your soul on fire.
