About the artists:

There are songwriters who chronicle life, and then there’s David Wilcox — an artist who metabolizes it. He has long been a quiet force in American folk music; a musician’s musician, a writer’s writer, and a seeker whose gift lies in making the personal feel universal.

With the release of "The Way I Tell the Story" (2025), Wilcox proves, yet again, that resilience isn’t just a survival skill — it’s an art form. The record shimmers with musical sophistication but leaves just enough space for the listener to feel what Wilcox has always done best: tell the truth, gently but without apology.

The music he’s creating now comes from a place that can’t be faked. In recent years, Wilcox’s life has been shaped by his wife’s Parkinson’s diagnosis—a shift that reordered his priorities and redefined his sense of time, love, and presence. But rather than retreat, Wilcox leaned in. “Times get tough, and music gets good,” he says, and means it. These songs don’t dramatize. They don’t resolve neatly. They sit in the complexity of living — open-eyed, unafraid, quietly brave.

Opening for David is SFF alum Justin Farren, an incredibly original artist widely lauded as "a storyteller with an impeccable voice, a guitar, and a head-full of funny, tender, and engaging observation." Sacramento-born and raised, Farren lives in a house he built himself—which he humorously refers to as "a living museum of my own mistakes."

Farren writes multidimensional songs that are uniquely personal, endlessly inventive, and highly relatable. His lyrics are known for their sudden twists and cleverness, prompting fellow artist David Wilcox to call him "the avatar of the age." He has proven his songwriting mastery by winning a bevy of awards, including the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Competition, Songwriter Serenade, and Wildflower.

His fourth album, "Pretty Free" (October 2020), is a homespun masterpiece featuring eleven original, award-winning songs crafted and recorded in his own backyard shed. Though he plays a cheap guitar, he insists his distinctive tone is not in the equipment, but entirely in his fingers—a unique combination of unboxed fluidity and unbridled creativity.
