About Me

the farewells were formed in 2003 by robert kenna; who had a couple of songs and enough talented friends to record the debut album, ... suspicious tones. recorded from 2003-2004 by robert kenna, george dubber, and joe harry at the 205 studios. songs were then mixed by robert kenna and george dubber, mastered by dave feeny at tempermill studios, put out by ginger gorilla records, and gobbeled by the masses. in the winter of 2008, the farewells returned to playing live shows with a new lineup. new members include nick white and larry johnson. work on the second farewells album has begun at MMARS audio studios in ypsilanti, mi and will be released in fall of 08.farewell... it is with me deepest regrets and sadness that i write this to inform you that we must say, “farewell” to one of the best song writers i have ever had the privilege of knowing. rob kenna, past away early this week. i have never had the pleasure of befriending anyone else quit like rob. he was funny, charismatic, and an all around fantastic soul. he was also a true musician to the bone, he lived and breathed music and showed this through his incredible talent. he will be missed by many, but never forgotten. we send our deepest condolences to anyone who knew rob most of all to his family.check out past shows:!!!
