The Farallons come from western rootstock. That is, the dust in their bones comes from the western third of the North American continent. The dust in their musical soul comes from folk, rock, classical, jazz, country, latin . . . you name it. It all appears in the music, some in more of a cameo role than others.
The Farallons are perfect for any concert or festival. With a set that mixes finger-popping covers with surprising originals they appeal to a broad audience. They show up on time, look good, don't eat much, and work well with the tech crew. And the music's "damn good".
