Andrew Farriss, co-founder of the iconic band INXS, is set to make his Grand Ole Opry debut on Saturday, December 14. This milestone performance marks a significant moment in Farriss’s illustrious career, as he transitions from global rock icon to the heart of American country music.
Farriss is celebrated for his songwriting and musical contributions that helped propel INXS to worldwide success, with over 80 million albums sold. The Grand Ole Opry, a storied venue where country legends such as Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and Garth Brooks have performed, represents a merging of two musical worlds for the artist.
For the past 32 years, Farriss and his family have operated a cattle and grains farm in North West New South Wales, Australia. Immersed in a rural lifestyle alongside cowboys and cowgirls, he draws inspiration from the rugged beauty of the land and the authentic spirit of country music, influencing his evolution into the Americana, country rock, and folk genres.
Fans can look forward to catching Andrew Farriss live at the Grand Ole Opry on December 14.
