Fare

Ryan Lafferty and Charlie Maynard met in college where they formed bands in the indie rock world, with Charlie on drums and Ryan on guitar. Now they’ve joined forces again, with a fresh take on their sound and production to create a unique, inviting electronic pop-soul crossover sound. “The best songs play with opposites in a thoughtful way. Taking something with a dark sentiment or exposing vulnerability, but then placing it over something that makes you want to move—for us it’s really about juxtaposing things together that might not seem like they belong together. As Fare, they write, compose, and produce their blend of airy electronic, future beats and soul, crossing genres with vocals and melodic production and making their music widely accessible to all kind of fans. Working together across the country - with Ryan in New York City and Charlie in Los Angeles - Fare represents the adaptability required to achieve something you love. “We think about the creative pursuit, and in a broader sense the struggle that anyone who’s passionate about something can really relate to. Fare is representative of that. It’s really the price we pay to pursue something that we truly want to do.”
