With a lineage that can be traced back to 1964, The Farmers are one of the most important combos to ever call San Diego home. Currently featuring longtime leader Jerry Raney, alongside such local legends as bassist Chris Sullivan (The Penetrators) and drummer Joel Kmak (The Hitmakers), the band is the last of the truly great bar bands, keeping the dance floor filled and the bartenders busy. Great originals mix with solid covers like Yardbirds classic “For Your Love” for a night of rock ’n’ roll that brings back a missing element in so much music today: fun.
• THE FARMERS: Saturday, July 26 at HUMPHREYS BACKSTAGE LIVE, 2241 Shelter Island Drive, Shelter Island. 9 p.m. $12. www.humphreysbackstagelive.com.
