We were very saddened today to find out that Farpoint's first bass player, Don Fink, has passed away. Don was a talented musician and a very nice guy. He also kept us laughing! Although Don wasn't a member of Farpoint for long enough to appear on any of our recordings, he did play the first few shows, including the infamous "Yescamp" show in November '98. Farewell Don. You will be missed.

More new music! Today we release our cover of the Moody Blues classic, "The Story in Your Eyes." The Moodies were a big influence on Farpoint's music from the very beginning, so it's fitting that we would cover this song. This is actually our second Moody Blues cover, as we also recorded a version of "New Horizons" for the 2006 Mellow Records Moody Blues Tribute, HIGHER AND HIGHER.
Please check it out and, if so inclined, purchase a download of the song at the link below!

From the 10T Records website:
10T Records will release the brand new full-length CD release from South Carolina’s

guitars, and vocals, and Rick Walker on drums and percussion. Special
guests include Christi Hunter Brownlow on violin and Jennifer Meeks Weich on

With “Paint the Dark,” Farpoint has taken everything that makes their unique blend of
uplifting and positive symphonic flavored prog, folk, and hard rock, and applied
it on a more expansive canvas, creating the most layered and compositionally
mature record of their career. Long-time fans will instantly recognize the
band’s signature style, while appreciating the more adventurous and atmospheric
territories that the band explores on this release. “Paint the Dark” was
produced by Kevin Jarvis and Farpoint and mixed and mastered by Jeff Hodges
(Fromuz, Man On Fire, Band Of Horses).
“Farpoint is once again thrilled to be releasing our new album on 10T Records,” says Kevin
Jarvis. “It’s an honor and a privilege to be a part of this amazing team,
from the incredible staff to the amazing roster of artists. It’s a wonderful
feeling to not only be a label mate but also a fan of nearly every band on the
label. Special thanks to Steve Carroll and Jeff Hodges for going above and
beyond in so many ways to make this the best Farpoint release yet!”
“We love the fact that we aren’t just partners with the artists on our roster, but
we are genuinely friends with most of them,” says 10T Records president, Steve
Carroll. “That relationship makes bringing new music to the marketplace so
much more rewarding. We’re very happy to be once again working to bring
new Farpoint music to their fans, and to the new fans I believe this release
will generate for them.”
