Toen hij vorig jaar werd gevraagd om in te vallen voor een afgezegde act, aarzelde hij geen moment en keerde hij terug naar Dark Season Blues als soloartiest. Dit jaar mogen we hem met een volledige band horen!    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gedurende zo\u2019n tien jaar was Farris de frontman van de band Screamin\u2019 Cheetah Wheelies, die een mix speelde van southern rock en blues in de stijl van Lynyrd Skynyrd en de Allman Brothers Band. Hij stond ook aan het hoofd van Double Trouble, de voormalige begeleidingsband van Stevie Ray Vaughan, maar heeft sinds 2002 vijf soloalbums uitgebracht. In 2015 werd het album \u201eShine For All The People\u201c bekroond met een Grammy in de categorie roots\/gospel.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In maart vorig jaar verscheen Farris\u2019 eerste studioalbum sinds 2018, \u201eThe Sound of Muscle Shoals\u201d, dat lovende recensies heeft gekregen. Het is een liefdesverklaring aan de beroemde studio in Alabama en de eclectische muziek die daar is ontstaan: blues, R&amp;B, soul, gospel en rock. We kijken ernaar uit om weer van Svalbard-vriend Mike Farris te horen!    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#e2e2e2;font-size:12px\"><strong>Dark Season Blues\u00a92026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Mike Farris - &quot;Golden Wings&quot; (Official Music Video)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GxGWfqFXPhs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De Amerikaan Mike Farris maakte grote indruk toen hij in 2022 voor het eerst op Dark Season Blues optrad.
