Following the dissolution of his band, The Screaming Cheetah Wheelies, he joined up with Stevie Ray Vaughan’s backing band, and Rock & Roll Hall Fame alumni, Double Trouble in support of their debut album. Then, launching his own solo career he began to explore and reinterpret black spiritual music by own mix of vintage southern soul. For his efforts, Farris won the prestigious Americana Music Award for Best New & Emerging Artist, a Dove Award for Best Traditional Gospel Album of the Year and a 2015 GRAMMY award for Best Roots Gospel Album.
