What do you get when you attend a Pop Farmers show?
Expect big, sloppy guitar chords and upbeat power pop covers from bands you know, bands you kind of know, and bands you've never heard of.
You'll also get big three-part harmony vocals along with enough rhythm to keep your toes tappin' and your booty shakin'. We've got a lot of musical friends who like to jump up on stage and play with us, so our lineup will range from a three-piece to as many seven. But, for the most part, our lineup is a pretty solid quartet.
Here it is:

• Al Carey -- Guitar, vocals -- Al is the king of the big, sloppy guitar chords. He plays a big guitar. He plays it big. Al tends to lead the band to the edge of the cliff, musically speaking, and sometimes we follow him right over that edge. It's a joy to watch. Al can also fix your computer. He runs his own company called Tech About Town. For more on the company, go to www.techabouttown.com.
•  
• Jim Mahony -- Drums, vocals -- Jimmy is the glue that keeps the band from flying apart at the seams. He keeps the beat and knows how to keep the rest of the band in line. There's a reason we don't give Jim a mic though. He tends to say bad words.

•  
• Gary Blaisdell -- Guitar, vocals -- Gary is the newest Pop Farmer, and he brings years of experience with the Ballou Brothers Band to the band. A monster bass player, Gary's switching over to guitar with us, and his style fits in perfectly. Gary is also co-host of a kick-ass acoustic open mic in Merrimack.

• Danny J  -- Bass, vocals -- Along with Jim, lays the foundation upon which Al and Gary can dance around. Although he's always wanted to be Keith Richards, Dan's always been a bass player. He digs the big bottom.
