SPECIAL INTEREST is a cover rock, R&B and blues experience, vocally led by the high-octane Chris Farnum and the soulful Katie Ijams. They lead stylized arrangements driven by the tasty guitar work of Peter Kellison and powered by an insanely tight rhythm section– Nick Louizos on bass and Chris Mowrer on drums. As seasoned players who have played a seriously wide range of events for over a decade, these five musicians know music drives the show, but performance drives the crowd. They leave any audience wanting more.
