Sounds Like
It sounds like fun!! There's really no other way to describe it, we have four members that sing and write original material, and we do alot of cool covers from alot of the people that we listed as influences.
Robin, Schuyler, and Nathan have teamed up with good friends Troy and Brian (ex members of Roanoke rock powerhouse, Brave New World) to form Poor Farm.
Poor Farm wasn't planned, but after countless Sunday afternoons together grilling yard bird, slugging PBR, and playing music together until four in the morning, it happened. Poor Farm is a reason to get together and sing at the top of our lungs, making no excuses for doing so. Rock, blues, country, or folk... take your pick. Poor Farm is, at any given time, a combination of harmonica, mandoline, electric or acoustic guitars, tambourine, washboard, bass, snare drum, drum set, and stomp boxes. Poor Farm is everything that we all love about music.

This looks like great fun! I remember seeing Races in Charlottesville a few years back and really digging it. Glad to see you all are still playing with friends and keeping the music alive. You should come up to Charlottesville again and bring the new group!
