ROCKET BLASTER

FARRIS IS LIKE A FIST IN YOUR FACE… 
YOU MUST SURRENDER TO
THE MUSIC GRABS YOU, RIPS OFF YOUR CLOTHES, HANDS YOU A SET OF WINGS,  AND THEN THROWS YOU OUT OF AN AIRPLANE.  

This musical sense of urgency collides with pointed and poetically precise lyrics leaving your reaching and breathless. 

THEY ARE CHASING SOMETHING MAGICAL 

WHICH may BE LOST 

IF THEY DON’T REACH OUT AND GRAB IT 

AND thrust IT IN YOUR FACE. 

FARRIS is the inspiration, the wisdom, and the understanding that comes from miles of movement. The face of FARRIS, singer-songwriter Kathleen Farris, formed the band in the Netherlands in 2011, after arriving from Kenya where she had lived and worked as an infectious disease researcher for the US government.  

She first fine-tuned her craft of lyrical storytelling through writing poetry and absorbing the country-music infused influences of her Texas upbringing. She left Texas after High School and rubbed elbows with high level governement officials by day in Washington DC and performed on street corners as a busker by night.  This led to her famed 40 40 40 tour where she toured 40 different street corners in Washington DC for 40 days in a row.  Fans followed her 2 hour nightly show from corner to corner with  amplifier, microphone. guitar, and CDs to sell in tow.

She went on to live in Kenya, in Mali, in Portugal, in England, and in France before landing in the Netherlands. 

FARRIS IS A BAND DRIVEN BY  PURPOSEFUL INTENTION 
TO INNERVATE THE MUSIC WITH THE ESSENCE OF CHANGE, AND MAKE SURE IT IS DAMN MAINSTREAM SO PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY HEAR IT!
TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK 

TO QUESTION 

society and our role within it

OUR ACTIONS, OURSELVES.

To INSPIRE OTHERS TO BE HOPEFUL, TO ACT.
