Farewell Drifters

"If a young Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel had ever gathered with Brian Wilson and the young Beach Boys and formed a Nashville string band, it might just have sounded like The Farewell Drifters." —Zachary Greenberg, The Nashville Review ///

With shimmering harmonies, gently propulsive acoustic instrumentation, and disarmingly honest songwriting, the Farewell Drifters of Nashville, TN have arrived at an engaging, inventive musical hybrid all their own—a pure and welcoming sound that satisfies traditional bluegrass fans, but has also won over folk and singer/songwriter enthusiasts, and even the denizens of rock clubs!
The five-piece band does its thing with a trad line-up of two acoustic guitars, mandolin, fiddle, and upright bass. The Farewell Drifters' debut on the Caffè Lena stage last summer has gone down as one of the most exciting shows of the year. We simply couldn't wait a whole year to bring them back. Don't miss this return visit!
