Mike Farris
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC’S PICK
Fri., March 28
Mike Farris, Eddie’s Attic— The ex-Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies rocker has gradually morphed into first a credible contemporary gospel singer, and more recently, a blue-eyed soulster. His soaring voice is powerful enough to shake the dust out of Eddie’s ceiling and even though he’s solo tonight, he’s one of the few soul vocalists who can deliver a spellbinding performance with just his acoustic guitar. He’ll be playing tunes from his terrific The Sound of Muscle Shoals disc, released last month. Wait’ll you hear his searing cover of Tom Petty’s “Swingin’,” one of the many riveting tracks from it. — Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Mike Farris live at Eddie's Attic!
Grammy winner Mike Farris is an artist’s artist, a musician’s musician, celebrated and revered by his fellow performers. It’s no wonder. He’s the one who brings everything to his music and to every live performance, every time.
Mike is a Grammy, Americana and Dove Music Award winner with multiple solo recordings, including his last full length release; “Silver and Stone.” His iconic personal appearances include the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert honoring Aretha Franklin.
He was featured on Patty Griffin's Grammy-winning “Downtown Church,” and appeared with Griffin on Austin City Limits. He shared the stage with Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Double Trouble on the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame special and made his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2018.
Mike is also the frontman of the mainstream rock group The Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies, who launched onto the scene in the 90's with a major label release. They quickly became darlings of the critics and fans alike due in part to the extraordinary and controlled chaos of their lead singer’s live vocal performances and stage charisma.
An amalgamation of the spiritual and the earthly, of gospel and rock ‘n’ roll, of faith and fire, Mike Farris will bring what Rolling Stone Country describes as a “supersized voice filled with the electricity of Saturday night and the godly grace of Sunday mornings.”
