JW Farrell is a solo artist based out of New York City. Born and raised in Bucks County in the suburbs of Philadelphia before moving to NYC.

Taking notes from some of his songwriting heroes, Jack White Bruce Springsteen and John J. McCauley as well as the sonic influence of some of his favorite bands, The Walkmen,  My Morning Jacket and The Raconteurs, Farrell has created a captivating blend of americana, new wave and rock.
