Nick D'Angelo and The Farmer were a garage band from Chaminade High School in New York, active during the late 1960s. In 1968, during their junior year, they rehearsed at a nearby house for a battle of the bands, performing the Chaminade fight song. The band expanded to include a piano player and a trombone player. They gained recognition by winning a competition with Bob Dylan's 1966 classic "Rainy Day Women" and recorded their acoustic garage/folk single "Mr. Zeppelin Man" b/w "Time To Be A Woman," featuring a 12-string guitar. Their performances were marked by distinctive poncho-style capes. At some point, they changed their name to The Farmers. The lineup included Nick D'Angelo on guitar and vocals, Pete on guitar, and Paul on bass. According to Kramden Records, all members were D'Angelo brothers except for the drummer. Nick D'Angelo later contributed his talents to the Hare Krishna movement and was a devoted fan of George Harrison.
