MEET THE SINGERS/MUSICIANS

 



The Queler/Farber Family Band







EXCITING NEWS: our theater piece, Still Will Be Heard (which uses the songs we set to Edna St Vincent Millay's poetry), will be produced this November-2021, at the Mondavi Center at UC Davis.
And - everyone should get their tickets to "Ain't Too Proud" which will be reopening Oct. 16th, 2021.

Partners in marriage and music, Liz Queler and Seth Farber are both three time Grammy nominees. As children of musical parents and parents of a musical child, they started bringing their son Joey on stage with them when he was a tot. Now 21 years old and a student at Berklee College of Music, he has stepped in as an equal. With individual credits including appearances at Newport Folk Festival and Carnegie Hall (Liz), Saturday Night Live (Joey) and the conducting podium of numerous Broadway shows (Seth) - their family band presents a truly unique sound and soul. Heavy on harmonies with influences from Appalachia, bluegrass and gospel, their music is infused with a rock sensibility, creating a soulful cross between Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Emmylou Harris and John Mayer. The Queler/Farbers have eight CDs between them. "The Edna Project" CD, a collaboration by Liz and Seth, set 21 poems by Edna St. Vincent Millay to music, and became both the inspiration and score for "Still Will Be Heard" - their first theater piece, commissioned and produced by Peak Performances at Montclair State Univ. (NJ). Musicians through and through, sharing thoughtful and exceptional music with the world and with each other, they've toured extensively and were featured on Rosie O'Donnell's HBO special "A Family is a Family Is a Family” and the 2019 PBS tribute to Pete Seeger. Liz and Seth toured with Cliff Eberhardt for many years, and are now members of children’s rock sensation “Brady Rymer and The Little Band That Could”.

Hailed by Billboard Magazine as a “singer’s singer” Liz Queler (guitar/mandolin) has composed for TV and film, and worked extensively as a studio singer including jingles (Meow Mix, Exxon, Sprite, Estroven), film scores (“The Little Mermaid”, “Barney’s Great Adventure”) and the PBS American Masters’ biography on Lucille Ball for which she sang “My Funny Valentine.” Liz has shared the stage with folk icons Richie Havens, Jessie Winchester, and Guy Clark among others. Her songs have won awards from Billboard, and The National Academy of Popular Music. Liz is also founder and director of Urban Garage, Inc, a performance lab for young musicians, aged 11-21, interested in genres of music not typically taught in schools.

Seth Farber (piano/accordion) was musical director to the late, great Odetta for her last decade, producing three CD's, two of which were nominated for Grammy's. Currently assistant conductor at the Broadway sensation “Ain’t Too Proud”, his numerous Broadway credits include assistant conductor for Hairspray and Music Director/Conductor for Soul Doctor. He was Music Director for the late Willy "Mink" DeVille, with whom he toured and recorded from 1988- 2008. Seth has released two solo piano CDs including numerous original compositions that have been used extensively for film and TV (HBO, Animal Planet, PBS, The History Channel, Discovery etc) and he has recorded and performed with many artists, including Billy Joel, Jon Bon Jovi, Gregg Allman, John Prine, Phoebe Snow, The Staples Singers, Joan Osborne, Lucinda Williams, Chip Taylor, Alejandro Escovedo and Cliff Eberhardt.

Joey Farber (bass/piano/cajon) is fast amassing his own impressive credits, boasting 3 national jingles, an off Broadway show (Soul Doctor), and appearances on Saturday Night Live, and Late Night With David Letterman. Joey is currently a senior at Berklee College of Music.
