Technically pure, slightly jaded, no-nonsense and honest with stellar storytelling for the every-man." The Far West came together in early 2010, and quickly became a staple of the Los Angeles Americana and Alt-Country scene. Before long the band partnered with respected booking agent Mongrel Music, and have since been gigging all across America including iconic venues like El Rey, The Troubadour, The Echo, The Satellite, Pappy & Harriet's, Hotel Cafe, Cowboy Palace Saloon, The Great American Music Hall, The White Horse and countless others. They've been winning accolades all along the line from bands, critics and DJ's alike. The Far West has shared the stage with many bands, including JD McPherson, Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin, Steve Earle, Nick 13, Justin Townes Earle , Corb Lund, The Wild Reeds, Langhorne Slim, Jaime Wyatt , Ronnie Fauss , Leslie Stevens , Brian Whelan , Rod Gator and many, many more. Their debut album was recorded at an American Legion Post while the bar was open for business – and, in keeping with the practice of using unusual spaces, their 2nd album was recorded in a working Hot Rod Repair shop.
The Far West has performed in Sofar Los Angeles.
