Father Festus
Father Festus is an American Rock band based in The Bay Area of California. Together now for 25 years, our story is built on friendship and a profound love of rock music. We write original tunes and perform them with passion and joy. We have played for 14 people in a dingy church basement as well as for a packed house at The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. We have two critically acclaimed records, “Represent” and “Shambolic” both of which are presented on this site in their entirety (free of charge!). More music is on the way in the form of live shows and never before released material.
Father Festus is:
Dave Laurance- vocals and guitar
Johnny Laurance- lead guitar, vocals, drums
Rick Lund- rhythm guitar
Laurie Hall- bass guitar
Keith Hall-drums
