Singer-songwriter Robert Connely Farr grew up in the small southern town of Bolton, Mississippi, home of Charley Patton, Sam Chatmon, Bo Carter & Walter Vinson. He has been mentored in the Bentonia Style of the Delta Blues by Jimmy “Duck” Holmes since 2017. His 2019 release Dirty South Blues was met with widespread critical acclaim, including being named by KEXP’s Greg Vandy Top Albums of 2019 & earning Farr nominations at Canada's prestigious Maple Blues Awards for Songwriter of the Year & New Artist of the Year. He currently resides in Vancouver, BC but when he's home in Mississippi, he can be found at Jimmy "Duck" Holmes' historic juke joint - the Blue Front Cafe. 

“this isn’t Nashville bro country... this is soulful, lonesome what if Ol’ Hank we’re still alive Country Blues. Farr shares some of the best of the original Mississippi blues in a style that remains relevant today... he takes the lessons he’s learned & applies them to his original music without forgetting to honor the masters who came before him.”
American Blues Scene

"Farr... has a skill for blending the traditional w/ the modern world. He can conjure up both the brains & the brawn of Drive-By Truckers & the... spirit of masters such as Howlin’ Wolf or RL Burnside."
