He shared the stage with Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Double Trouble on the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame special and made his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2018. An amalgamation of the spiritual and the earthly, gospel, and rock ‘n’ roll, of faith and fire, Mike Farris will bring what Rolling Stone Country describes as a “supersized voice filled with the electricity of Saturday night and the godly grace of Sunday mornings.” Farris recently joined back up with his group, the Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies, for upcoming festival dates in 2023.
