Mississippi Live and the Dirty Dirty
Railway Stage and Beer Café, 579 Dunsmuir, Vancouver Show @ 9pm/19+
Connely Farr grew up across the street from a cotton gin in the small town of Bolton, Mississippi, the same town that spawned the Mississippi Shieks in the 1930's. In 2001, he moved to Auburn University in Alabama to study architecture. While there, he participated in a non-profit design/build program called Rural Studio. Connely has enjoyed his collaborations exhibited in the United States and internationally, including the 52nd Venice Biennale (Italy, 2008) and World Architecture Festival (Honorable Mention - Spain, 2008). Connely relocated to Vancouver, BC and in 2009, teamed up with local indie producer Jon Wood as Mississippi Live to record the self-titled debut album "Mississippi Live". Pulling a band together for live performances with Jay Johnson and Ben Yardley, Mississippi Live & the Dirty Dirty was born.
