The Farnum Family—from the Missouri Ozarks—is an active home-school "home grown" family band consisting of six children, all performing, singing and promoting American and European-originated folk music from the early 1800s through mid-1900s and much more.
With influence gleaned from bluegrass, folk, gospel, Irish, old-time, novelty, cowboy and Western standards (and obscurities), their diverse blend of music is styled in a near-traditional string-band manner, with 5-string banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin and upright bass, supported by piano, penny-whistle and occasional harmonica, tenor banjo and washboard!
Their homespun and entertaining presentations—be it for theater concert, church congregation or school assembly—include appropriate academic dialogue and instrumental demonstration to captivate audiences young and old.
Performing the music of our Christian and American heritage throughout the Midwest, they are available to travel to your event whether local or long-distance, coast-to-coast or beyond!
From amongst our family, we can also teach 5-string banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin & upright bass.
