At the heart FarmStrong, Jim Faddis’ soulful voice strikes a chord deep within audience members, and resonates a musical memory of long ago.  His bluegrass band, Prairie Flyer, has been firing up the Washington State bluegrass scene for years, and is a reflection of Faddis’ talent and skill in driving a very talented group.  Faddis’ gift for songwriting and his songster ways shine in FarmStrong, where he leans on styles from Gillian Welch to Neil Young for inspiration, making new and old tunes, his own.
