Friction Farm is guitarist/vocalist Aidan Quinn and bassist/ vocalist Christine Stay.  With just two people and two instruments, they create a lot of sound and a diverse repertoire.

Christine has an intensity that conveys a wide range of expression, intimate and vulnerable in one song, powerful and angst ridden in the next.

“Whether singing at a near whisper or belting for the rafters, her vocal
confidence and melodic tone never waiver.”  City Link Magazine

Friction Farm’s sound is really built around Aidan’s big jangly guitar strum.  He’ll hypnotize your feet into tapping along, then snap you out of it with some intricate flat picking. Best of all Aidan’s backing vocals recall classic 60's harmonies.

“Aidan Quinn’s spot-on guitar technique drive the songs plus his backing harmonies at times sound eerily like Lindsey Buckingham.”  Connect Savannah
