Drayton Farley

Presented by Grind City Fest

Alabama native Drayton Farley has as honest a voice as you’re likely to hear in
this burgeoning scene of country, folk, roots, and Americana music we’re all
wrapped up in. With songs and lyrics pulled from real life experience, there’s a
grounded feeling to his stories, a confessional quality that rings true to those
who know. His voice fills the room like cigarette smoke, curling into every corner
of you, with a fine grit rasp that smooths out every rough edge. It lingers hours,
days, after you’ve left the bar – turns of phrase that tumble around your mind,
bittersweet and familiar. He sings as deeply about the love he holds as the love
he’s lost and there’s something so broken-in and comfortable about that
Southern inflection that every song feels like coming home. Sharing stages with
musicians on the rise such as Zach Bryan, Arlo McKinley and Mike and the
Moonpies, Drayton has quickly gained a loyal fan base.
You can listen to Drayton’s latest album, A Hard up Life, wherever you get your
music.
