Mike Farris


Mike Farris, originally uploaded by chrismek.

Last night we drove through a snow storm to go to BB King's on 42nd St NYC to see Mike Farris. Mike is a great singer. He used to sing in the Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies. He quit that band because he was on a road of self destruction with all the drugs he was on and stuff. So he took some time off and came back singing Gospel/Christian kind of stuff. His music is amazing! Very inspiring to me.

My Bro-In-Law was friends with back in the SCW days but they lost touch for a while. I brought his business Card to give to Mike but never got a chance to talk to him so had to give it to the session guitarist... I hope Mike gets it and they get back in touch.

Yea, but the guy can still sing!!! He really has an amazing voice! And he was headed down a road of self destruction, better to devote himself to god than all the drugs he was taking.

SCW were fucking great though, weren't they?
