In 2015 Mike Farris became the first artist to receive a Grammy Award for Best Roots Gospel Album for his release Shine for All the People. Known as a powerhouse vocalist with blue-eyed soul, Farris also earned the Americana Music Award and the Dove Award. He has also performed at Bonnaroo, Merlefest, SXSW, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. Artists such as Rodney Crowell, Buddy Miller, Patty Griffin, and Marty Stuart are struck by Mike Farris’ incomparable voice. He has opened for Patti LaBelle, Mavis Staples, Blind Boys of Alabama, Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby. Mike’s spirited soul-gospel fusion also led to an invitation to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 16th Annual American Music Masters Concert honoring Aretha Franklin. Concert takes place in the Performance Theater at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum.
