Fardowner Blues

“Delta Junction hails from Crozet, VA. With a solid foundation in stripped down blues from the Mississippi delta, Delta Junction breathes new life into traditional arrangements, adding funk, soul, and rock in equal measure. Daniel's compelling vocals and hard driving guitar are enhanced by Jon's gritty, wailing harmonica licks that force you to pay attention. Holding it all together on the upright bass is Travis, providing a powerful groove backbone that you can't help but dance to. Altogether this acoustic blues trio cooks up funky tunes that are sure to bring you to your feet. Their live show is not to be missed!”

Fardowner Blues is a song written by Daniel Christie and performed by the group Delta Junction.


“As an engineer by trade and a current Crozetian, I have a great interest in the history surrounding the Blue Ridge Tunnel. I also happen to moonlight as a blues musician, and wanted to reach out to you to let you know I wrote a song loosely based on the Irish immigrants (Fardowners) who built the tunnel. Thought you might enjoy it!”  Daniel
