A storyteller with an impeccable voice, a guitar and a head-full of funny, tender and engaging observation.
Justin Farren was born and raised in Sacramento, where he lives in a house built with his own two hands – or as he likes to refer to it, “a living museum of my own mistakes.” Justin’s twin brother is a yellow truck named Yellow. Two round trips from California to Alaska, infinite dead-end, soul-sucking jobs and god knows how many miles of touring, have forged an unbreakable bond between the two that no number of blown transmissions could ever sever. A wiser man would have driven that piece of junk into the Sacramento River the first time the engine caught fire, but wisdom’s just another word for knowing how to quit. And thanks to Justin, Yellow is going to run forever. Still, one gets the feeling that Justin’s songs might just outlast her.
“Justin Farren is the avatar of the age and the only true path to enlightenment,” says David Wilcox. “If you want to attain total self realization, get to know Justin Farren … and maybe he’ll do you a favor and pull some strings with his cosmic connections.” In the last few years he’s won a bevy of awards including the Kerrville New Folk Competition, Songwriter Serenade, and Wildflower. He’s shared the stage with David Wilcox, Anna Tivel, Sam Baker, Matt Costa, Pierce Pettis, and many other outstanding performers. He is way more likely to toilet paper a house now than he ever was as a kid.
