About the Performers:
Faragher Bros are a band from Redlands, CA, founded in the mid ‘70s. Coming from a family of 8 siblings, the Faraghers were inspired by doo-wop, R&B, soul, pop, and rock n’roll of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Originally consisting of four brothers (Danny, Jimmy, Davey, and Tommy), they were later joined by sister Pammy and brother Marty as well. They recorded 4 albums, appeared on shows like Soul Train and American Bandstand, and toured and performed with artists such as Rufus and Tower of Power. The group has four Grammy Award nominations and a Grammy Award among them.
Now the Faragher Bros have united for the first time in 45 years to perform their soulful original songs from the 70s, as well as to create new music in the spirit of that era. This time, family members Charlie and Daisy Faragher have also joined the group, adding fresh new talent on drums, sax, and vocals.
The Faragher are getting back to their roots and striking a chord with their many fans who crave hearing strong live musical performances that touch the heart and soul. They are also excited to be recording new songs as a family!
