The Far Out
Johnnies

A San Francisco-based band honoring the legacy of John Hartford. With deep roots in the Bay Area bluegrass scene, the band members bring diverse musical backgrounds — having played with many popular bands — which fuels their exploration of Hartford's eclectic catalog, from the iconic Aereo-Plain album to fiddle tunes and beyond.

Rehearsals are as much fun as the gigs. That says everything.

"There's no substitute for getting out there and doing it." — John Hartford
