Darla Farmer is an American septet with sounds ranging from folk, indie, punk, ska and rock music. The group formed when the members met in 2004 at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. The group started with five people, Clint Wilson on guitar and lead vocals, Bryce Leonard on bass, Scott Kuyper on drums, Joey Dykes on trombone and Casey Saul on violin. The band later added Chase Bunton on trumpet and Ben Weber on piano and percussion. Ben Klise replaced Scott Kuyper on drums in 2006. Each member originates from a different state (Oregon, Colorado, Michigan, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Mississippi, respectively), and they each pull from their separate backgrounds to synthesize an original style.
Darla Farmer is signed to independent record label Paper Garden Records.
