Faraway Boys

Boasting a mixture of music somewhere between Psychobilly, Rock ‘n’ Roll, and Rockabilly, is the power trio of the Faraway Boys. With a punk style and desire to succeed, the Faraway boys first began playing in 2005 on a street corner in Laguna Beach, CA. Since, they have played the local club scene as well as embarked on a number of small tours. Remembering their roots, performing on the street corner prepared the Faraway Boys for the endurance and confidence that is needed to perform in front of a crowd.

Now recording their classic songs of “Sailor Jerry Rum” and “Cowboy Moon”, the Faraway Boys are constantly fine tuning their music for their performances on the weekends. Living by their motto of “Anytime –Any Where”, the Faraway Boys have performed up and down California as well as parts of the Mid West.
