Blackie Farrell - guitar/ vocals
Bobbie Black - pedal steel guitar

Blackie Farrell might not be a household name, but among his peers, he’s no unsung hero. His songs have been recorded and performed by artists ranging from Leo Kottke, Tom Russell, Robert Earl Keen, Dave Alvin, and Michael Martin Murphy, to Bill Kirchen, Commander Cody, Ray Campi, Jerry Lee Lewis, Asleep at the Wheel, and Chris O’Connell.

Blackie is a story-teller, cutting a straight line right through life’s jagged edges, not smoothing them over but illuminating their points. Some haunting, some heroic, his tales stick to your bones and conjure up lost spirits and the longings of a well-worn heart.

Bobby Black is a world-renowned master of the steel guitar who has played and performed for over 50 years with groups like Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, Asleep at the Wheel, The Sir Douglas Quintet, New Riders of the Purple Sage, The Moonlighters and many more.
