Backstory:
Fussy Farm is a crew of four high school friends who, in their small farming community, found an escape through music. The band members, James, Charlie, Kevin, and Mike, originally bonded over their mutual love for folk rock and the simple but profound pleasures of country life. Each member of the band comes from generations of farmers, and they started the band in their senior year as a way to express the struggles and joys they’ve experienced growing up on a farm. Their music is a tribute to their roots, filled with themes of hard work, familial ties, and the beauty of rural life. Fussy Farm is a testament to their journey, from working the fields during the day to practicing in a dusty barn at night, the name itself a playful nod to the challenging yet fulfilling farm life they know.

“Under the Harvest Moon”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Out here under the [C] harvest moon,
[D] Workin’ the fields from [G] dawn till noon.
[G] Sweat on the brow but [C] love in the heart,
[D] From this old farm we’ll [G] never part.
(Chorus)
[C] Under the Harvest [G] moon we stand,
[D] Four boys turned to [Em] men in this land.
[C] Through the storms and the [G] summer’s heat,
[D] In this farm, our [G] dreams we meet.
(Verse 2)
[G] The corn grows high, and [C] so does our hope,
[D] On this fussy farm, we’ve [G] learned to cope.
[G] With the rhythm of nature, [C] we’re in tune,
[D] Dancing our dreams under the [G] harvest moon.
(Chorus)
[C] Under the Harvest [G] moon we stand,
[D] Four boys turned to [Em] men in this land.
[C] Through the storms and the [G] summer’s heat,
[D] In this farm, our [G] dreams we meet.
