Based on the outskirts of New Orleans, modern-folk duo Friction Farm is a husband and wife team of travelling troubadours. Aidan Quinn and Christine Stay, combine storytelling, social commentary and humour to create songs of everyday life, local heroes, and quirky observations.
We are lucky to catch them on a rare UK tour.
?infectiously hummable tunes? ? New Times Magazine Miami FL
They have toured internationally, been Kerrville New Folk Finalists, Falcon Ridge Emerging Artists, and South Florida Folk Festival Songwriter winners. Friction Farm?s latest songs are inspired by witnessing the collision of strong political polarity with personal kindness, the intersection of fragility and breath taking beauty. From ballads to anthems each song is filled with harmony and hope... And humour.

He?s from Berkeley CA, she?s from Woodstock NY. When not touring Aidan enjoys woodworking and Christine bakes. They have a big garden and a small orchard at the sustainable home they designed and built in South Carolina.
