"Denis Farley plays a fresh and exciting blend of blues, folk and Caribbean music. A harmonica player by trade, his down-home music eloquently straddles the rickety rural fence that divides blues and folk."

"Smooth Blues. Everybody gets the blues, but the expression is what sets us apart. This is like searching for a blue orchid, which may or may not exist depending on who you talk to, and where you're looking."

"Farley played and studied with jazz great, Ira Sullivan, blues legend John Lee Hooker and folk legend Pete Seeger, while maintaining a solo identity with his record label, a publishing company and now a media company, his Pouring Rain Music."

Songwriter and guitarist

This is a collection of home demos of (mostly) my songs that I have made over the years, including some collaborations with Derek Evans. Oh, and there's a couple of demos from Sacred Blue Walrus, a band from my past slipping further out of sight by the day.  Hope you enjoy.

The Roues Brothers 
Billy and Steven “Muddy” Roues have been making music together since they were kids and have banded together with two friends with whom they’ve also played for many years; Ed “the Hammerhead” Steinberg and Kenny Margolis.  They are all journeymen in the music business, having crossed paths with some of the greats of Blues, Rockabilly, Rock’n’Roll, Country, Soul, Folk, Jazz and Rhythm and Blues, including, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Carl Perkins, Bo Diddley, Howlin’ Wolf, Pinetop Perkins, Lonnie Mack, Vassar Clemens, Lenny Kaye, David Bromberg, Pete Seeger, Johnny Johnson and many more. The experience of working with those artists that were and still are mentors and idols to them, whether onstage, in the studio, in films and television or in the songwriting process, has left an indelible mark on the music the Roues Brothers are making today. Their music can be heard worldwide on the internet, in movie and television soundtracks and on numerous recordings available at most digital sites including; CDBaby, iTunes, Amazon and the rest. The Roues Brothers have recently garnered new fans when a song of theirs, I’m Movin’ Out, was included in a popular video game, Fallout New Vegas. The brothers are working in several bands that feature their own original music including Finn and the Sharks, The UpSouth Twisters and Big Jim Wheeler & Wheels of Fire.
