From the Branson area, the Farnum Family performs American and European heritage roots music with influence gleaned from bluegrass, folk, gospel, Irish, old-time standards, and cowboy and western. Their music is styled in a quasi-traditional string-band fashion with 5-string banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, and upright bass, often supported by piano and pennywhistle. Depending on the occasion, their homespun and entertaining presentations include appropriate academic dialogue, family harmonies, and instrumental demonstrations sure to captivate young and old. A special feature is their award-winning daughter, Hannah, who plays Irish, Texas swing and old-time fiddle styles, and currently performs in Branson at the Clay Cooper Theatre.

As a family, they have been featured at the Missouri State Fair, Buffalo Bill Cody Stampede Rodeo, International Washboard Festival, Ozark Folk Center, Silver Dollar City, and many other venues throughout the Midwest. They have been recipients of regional and international band, instrumental and vocal awards.
