MARC FARRE
An established NYC singer-songwriter recently moved to the Bay Area, MARC FARRE and his 4-piece band are celebrating the release of his exuberant new album, NEAR-LIFE EXPERIENCE — and excited to play San Francisco for the first time!
Farre’s music is hard to categorize but easy to love — melodic, arty, earthy, open-hearted, eclectic, juicy. Critics have called his albums “hypnotic and intensely soulful,” and compared his sophisticated style and intimate voice to artists such as Nick Cave, Serge Gainsbourg, Lou Reed, John Cale and Leonard Cohen.
Farre’s French heritage and deep voice imbue his music with a European, art-house feel — he sings in both English and French. He’s released 8 albums and EPs, plus several singles, including pop gem “My Sweet George,” mixed by legendary producer Tchad Blake (Tom Waits, Peter Gabriel, Elvis Costello).
“Intense and truly fantastic music. A tender touch of Donovan and Leonard Cohen, impeccably captured.”
– Bob Boilen, NPR (All Songs Considered)
“The musical equivalent of an art-house film.”
– Gannett Newspapers
“In the company of European-influenced musicians like Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, and Nick Cave. A throaty voice, highly poetic lyrics, and a kinetic band behind him. Compelling.”
– All Music Guide
“Marc Farre has that certain something. He mixes downtown creative spark with classic folk songwriting, adding accomplished jazz guitar to his dark storytelling.” – The Brooklyn Rail
ALEX WALSH
Alex Walsh writes warm, witty, catchy, and straight from the heart indie folk pop songs. He is a Singer-Songwriter based in San Francisco with 35 years experience performing solo and fronting his own bands.

With a dedicated following, he has been inspiring audiences from New York to San Francisco, Europe and beyond.
“Alex Walsh makes music the old fashioned way–warm and witty and straight from the heart.” — Joel Selvin, San Francisco Chronicle
