Mike Farris under the stars in Serenbe

Mike Farris is one of the greatest entertainers on the planet. We are fortunate to have him back in Serenbe for an encore performance. Ron Simblist-Chatt Hills Music

Coming off of an incredible GRAMMY win for 2015s SHINE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE (Best Roots Gospel album), Nashville rocker Mike Farris keeps it earthy and personal on SILVER & STONE, out September 7 on Compass Records. The title refers to his wife Julie's wedding ring, and the album is a celebration of their 23 years of marriage and her steadfastness in sticking by him through his years struggling with addiction and alcoholism. Now sober for 7 years, Farris has the energy and conviction of a man saved, a stack of anecdotes and life experiences that would make most peoples heads spin, and a soulful vocal delivery reminiscent of Sam Cooke or Otis Redding. SILVER & STONE isnt a gospel album by any means, but Farris still takes us to church on these 12 engaging tracks, including a cover of Bill Withers Hope Shell be Happier.

"With a supersized voice filled with the electricity of Saturday night and the godly grace of Sunday mornings ." Rolling Stone Country

"Modern soul at its most potent and nostalgia-free" The Nashville Scene
"Farris can turn his powerhouse vocals and stunning range to country, blues, gospel and heart-wrenching soul, and on 'Silver & Stone,' he certainly mixes it up." RnR Magazine
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
"Country and gospel music is in dire need of some pure heartfelt soul right now. He's like a secret weapon he's loaded with soul." Marty Stuart (Rolling Stone Country)
