“I am excited to tell the world that, in addition to my endeavors with Special Consensus, I will be releasing a solo project on Dark Shadow Recording in 2019. I have known both Stephen and Jana Mougin since I was a young kid in the Faris Family band and I’m looking forward to learning more from some of the most talented people in the music industry. I feel honored to join the ranks of Becky Buller (one of the hottest forces on the market for both songwriting and performing) and I hope we get to the chance to expand our collaborations! Given the current level of excellence at Dark Shadow Recording, I hope to do justice by adding to this already great and expanding label. Thank you Stephen and all the folks at DSR for inviting me to join this stellar team!”
— Rick Faris
Dark Shadow Recording is proud to welcome the talented multi-instrumentalist to its roster. Faris hails from Topeka, KS and tours as Vocalist and Guitar player for “Special Consensus.” He is a renowned luthier, not only repairing and building for others, but currently touring with a guitar that he built himself at Faris Guitar Company.
DSR label-head Stephen Mougin says: “Rick is one of the great voices in modern Bluegrass music. Over the years, I’ve watched him grow into a powerhouse musician, delivering compelling performances both on stage and in recordings. Through our partnership, we plan to create a solo album dedicated to his own brand of Bluegrass. It’s time for the world to hear more from Rick Faris!”
The album will be produced by Stephen Mougin and recorded at Dark Shadow Recording world headquarters for the expected 2019 release.
