Farriss shared on Instagram before taking to the stage, “Excited to be on stage tonight at the legendary Grand Ole Opry. It’s always a special feeling stepping into a place with so much history, and I can’t wait to share some new music with you all. See you tonight!”

Over the last 32 years, Farriss and his family have owned and operated a cattle and grains farm in northwest New South Wales, Australia. His music has developed inspiration from the rural lifestyle, the rugged nature of the land, and the authentic storytelling spirit of country music.
