The Far Cry is an American band with roots going back to the 70s, when Jeff Brewer (vocals, bass, guitar) and Robert Hutchinson (drums, percussion) met and started working together, at first in cover bands. The two were both members of Connecticut band Holding Pattern in the 80s, though not at the same time. Finally in 2013, a chance re-connection led the two to form The Far Cry, recruiting Chris Dabbo (piano, keyboards, vocals) and Bryan Collin (lead guitar, electric and acoustic guitars) to fill out their sound.
