The Farewell Drifters
Rising out of Nashville's thriving independent music scene, the Farewell Drifters are an alt-folk band known for their '60s era-inspired harmonies and adventurous musical energy. They have crafted a seamless blend of intellectual psychedelic pop with melodic songs that openly explore the brightest and darkest corners of life with raw intensity.
