Band

Mighty Girl formed in 2005 when Bill & Lena Fahringer teamed up with bassist Bob Torsello and kicked off a new musical project from the ashes of their previous band, Ghostvilla.  Swedish-born singer-songwriter Lena Fahringer is the granddaughter of Finnish composer Harry Bergstrom, author of Finnish film scores and radio productions. In 2007, right before the release of Mighty Girl's first album "Long Gone",  the band lost a fan but gained a lead guitarist in Nashville cat Mark McNutt, singer-songwriter in his own right.  In 2019, John Knowles, the original bass player of Ghostvilla, rejoined Lena & Bill Fahringer as bassist for Mighty Girl - close to two decades later.  John started his musical adventures in a jazz-rock fusion band called Eggs with guitarist Tom Jenkins and drummer Ray Levier.  Bill & Lena Fahringer first performed with Ghostvilla at Woodstock's 25th anniversary concert.  Bill Fahringer was the original drummer of the New York-based band The Rawtones in the early 80's.
