ROBERT CONNELY FARR

Vancouver-based Robert Connely Farr, originally from Bolton, Mississippi, has become a torchbearer for the Bentonia style of Delta blues, mentored by elder bluesman Jimmy "Duck" Holmes since 2017. His 2018 breakout album, Dirty South Blues, produced by Leeroy Stagger, earned him nominations at the 2019 Maple Blues Awards. Farr's sound is a raw, unpolished exploration of the blues, featuring guttural vocals and precise guitar work, often recorded live to capture a spontaneous energy. Expect a deep dive into the heart of Mississippi blues, delivered with grit and conviction.
