Farpoint

about

Melodic, powerful, and emotional original music that emphasizes stylistic variety and artistic creativity by way of layered vocal harmonies, instrumental diversity, and an open-minded approach to composition and arrangement, and a positive and spiritual lyrical approach. Formed in South Carolina, USA in 1997 by drummer Rick Walker and guitarist/keyboardist Kevin Jarvis, Farpoint's vision is to create melodic and powerful positive music that mixes the influence of rock, folk, Celtic and classical. Through four full length studio albums and ten years of live performances at festivals, clubs, private parties, and fundraisers, Farpoint continue to walk their own path, creating their own unique blend of sometimes folky, sometimes symphonic, and sometimes hard-rocking music that comes from the heart. The music combines dynamic male and female lead and harmony vocals, thoughtful, poetic lyrics, subtle acoustic and aggressive electric guitars, dexterous flute, melodic bass, intricate drumming, a variety of keyboard textures, and even an occasional touch of mandolin.
