Bio — Logan Farmer

Logan Farmer is an internationally recognized singer-songwriter and producer based in Fort Collins, Colorado. His work, which blurs the lines between dark folk, sound art, and ambient music, is concerned primarily with exploring climate anxiety and environmental devastation through the framework of the American folk song.

Entirely self-taught and fostered in the DIY ethos, Farmer’s background includes regular appearances as a performing artist, dozens of original recordings, live film scores, and public speaking engagements. His most recent albums, 2020’s “Still No Mother” and 2022’s “A Mold For The Bell” (both released by esteemed record label Western Vinyl), have received attention from NPR Music, BBC Radio 6, KEXP, Duyster, and others, while the widely-respected music magazine Tape Op called his work “pretty much perfect.. Beautifully recorded with deep but sparse arrangements”.

His distinct voice and lyrical prowess have also led to collaborations with Grammy-nominated producer Andrew Berlin (Gregory Alan Isakov), award-winning harpist Mary Lattimore, and ambient jazz pioneer Joseph Shabason. Moreover, Farmer’s work exploring the intersection between music and the climate crisis has led to appearances on Colorado Public Radio and a performance/interview at the University of Wyoming.
