The Far Out is a funk and soul pop band from Boston, Massachusetts. The six powerhouse musicians have been playing together since they were kids - learning and growing through shared experiences in jazz, theatre, a cappella, and orchestra. Now, the "Live Act of the Year” recipients at the New England Music Awards engage their audiences with lush vocals and groovy horn lines, supported by undeniable chemistry and raw star quality. Their goal is to include audiences in their infectious joy and spread the love of funk and soul music.

Taking after the likes of Eagles, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Fleetwood Mac, The Far Out is stacked with multiple lead singers and songwriters. Their genre is a cohesion of their individual tastes and influences, brought together by a shared aim to entertain and inspire. You’ll often catch the group of multi-instrumentalists switching roles during their sets - passing guitars around, moving from lead vocals to the horn section, or stealing a moment behind the keys. A TFO live show is a dynamic, unforgettable experience.

Since their formation in summer ‘21, TFO has quickly become a notable part of the Greater Boston music community. In 2025, they secured the awards for Live Act of the Year and Video of the Year (for “Laurel”) at the New England Music Awards. In addition, their debut album, Greetings from The Far Out, was nominated for Album of the Year at both the NEMAs and Boston Music Awards. The record is a total groove-fest and a celebration of the group’s chemistry and musicianship.
