Experience Mike Farris live on December 11th

Mike Farris is an American singer-songwriter recognized for his powerful vocals and a musical style deeply rooted in soul, gospel, and Americana traditions. His work often incorporates elements of blues and rock and roll, creating a sound characterized by raw emotionality and energetic performances. He gained significant recognition after winning the 2014 Living Blues Award for Male Blues Artist of the Year, despite not exclusively identifying as a blues musician.

“Mike Farris Sings! The Soul Of Christmas” is an annual concert series that began in 2017. It presents a unique take on traditional Christmas music, reimagined through Farris’s soulful lens. The show isn’t simply a performance of carols; it's described as an immersive experience drawing heavily from the African American gospel tradition that significantly influenced early Christmas music.

The concert typically features arrangements that emphasize vocal harmonies, dynamic instrumentation, and storytelling, aiming to recapture the original spiritual intent behind many holiday classics. Past performances have included both well-known carols and lesser-known spirituals connected to the Christmas season.
