The Farmers

We dig the jams

About Me

Pimp MySpace
Formed in early summer of 2004, the Farmers have been ripping up the stage with a jammy mix of folk, roots, bluegrass and acoustic takes on cover tunes. Originaly focused on slower, sentimental songs, The Farmers have upped the tempo considerably to become one of Brandon's favorite acoustic bands. The band has been a trio since its inception, but has always been more than happy to jam with friends like current regulars Sean Mitchel on Drums and Neighbour Joe on bass. Singer/songwriter Brenda Rogers has also joined the crew at selected shows. Gigging is strictly a spring/summer affair as Marty takes of for Hawaii 6 months of the year.The Farmers are currently working out to a more electric sound, with Martin abandoning the mandolin in favour of an electric guitar. The best way to experience The Farmers is in a live setting, preferably from the dance floor. You can also find us jamming with friends from time to time at Jody's church in Beresford. If we like you, you may just get invited.
