Mollie Farr runs Lost Buffalo Artists from her home in Lafayette, LA. Born and raised in SW Florida, Mollie grew up in the tropical south feeling a bit like a “lost buffalo” herself (imagine a buffalo that somehow made its way to Florida!), spending most of her childhood and adolescence traveling around to music festivals with her father. Over the years a profound admiration and understanding of American roots music became engrained in her and it was here in this musical community that she truly found her path. Mollie received a degree in ethnomusicology, writing her thesis on the origins of the accordion in Cajun music, which lead to her following that muse to Louisiana to help Ann Savoy edit and transcribe her book, "Cajun Music: A Reflection of the People Vol II", and later working for a stint in the Smithsonian Folkways archives in Washington DC. It is this deep ethnomusicological understanding that gives her a unique perspective when it comes to booking and management as she looks at each artist and their path amidst a long line of tradition as it grows and shifts into the present moment. Before her move to Acadiana, Mollie lived in Nashville for eight years where she started Lost Buffalo Artists as a response to fellow musicians and friends seeking help from a new sort of agent—one that truly understood their lives and music amidst the atmosphere of the music business today, and one that would go to bat for them with a relentless enthusiasm. Today Mollie approaches her work as an avid music lover, fellow musician, ethnomusicologist, and deeply invested member of the musical community surrounding us today. Contact Mollie
