Mike Farris and the Roseland Rhythm Revue Band is coming into Clayton (just ourside of Raleigh) Saturday night.
Snipping some info from various sources...
"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."
Below is a nice clip of Mike and and the McCrary Sisters playing 333 feet underground in the Volcano Taverns in McMinniville, TN.
