The Farmers

Website » MySpace » Facebook » Twitter »

These guys have more lives than a cat.

They sound like Bo Diddly, CCR, Joe South, and the Yardbirds, ham fisted into a food processor, stuffed into a shotgun shell, and blasted into a beer keg at three in the morning, in Faron Young’s rumpus room. Yeah-That’s it!

It all started with Jerry Rainey’s desperate youth as a hellion, blowin’ round El Centro California. Between stealing onions from farmers in Holtville and walking cross ties to Brawley, Jerry started hanging out in various hobo camps, and learning the guitar. After sponging up as much as he could, he needed more. A move west in search for Rebels, Rogues, and Renegades. He found ‘em… It was San Diego… and the Beat Farmers were born! Over the years, the Beat Farmers turned into the Farmers, and lost a couple of fixtures along the way. County Dick in 95 and Buddy Blue in 06. With guitars in hand and ghosts ridin’ with ‘em, the Farmers ROCK ON, with Jerry, Bongo Kmak, Chris Sullivan, and Corbin Turner.

These guys are the ultimate Tank Bosses.

Guitars, Pistons, & Lingerie.

They are now allowed back in most states.

Bring a change of pants.

The Farmers…DIG IT!
