Have a Show? We'll Open

We're building our live calendar, and we'll open for the right bill anywhere in Northwest Arkansas. Free. A two-man acoustic act: set up and torn down in minutes, our own sound if you need it, and our own crowd in the seats.

Venues: we'd love a night of our own, too. Get in touch either way.

About

Blackberry Hollow is Joel Farthing and Jared Berry: a two-man acoustic duo based in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Jared is a dynamic lead vocalist and a terrific guitar player in his own right, with years of stage experience performing for crowds of all sizes. Joel has played hundreds of paid gigs across Fayetteville, from intimate rooms to large venues.

Together, we play a wide range of current and classic songs, with a setlist that stretches from Noah Kahan to Dave Matthews, from The Beatles to Coldplay.

Our goal is to create an atmospheric, southern, laid-back style that's musically engaging on stage while also serving as a rich backdrop for patio and dinner service.
