FAIRWOOD is a co-production of Force MP Television and Metropolitan Sound + Vision. Season One of the quirky single-camera series follow the exploits of The Fairwood Brothers, colorful small-town entertainers with an infectious, upbeat "positivistic" philosophy. Thrust unexpectedly into the limelight as hosts of a talk show on Channel 29 in their rustic hometown of East Plains, the Brothers unite their relatives, friends and neighbors against the all-powerful Pentalode Corporation, whose carpetbagging executives work to overrun the town and take control of its unexploited natural resources.

Happy-go-lucky characters Rusty and Clark were first introduced on their faith-based pop/rock album Contrary to Popular Belief in 2012. With a funny, charming and moral worldview, The Fairwood Brothers were created to represent the power of the underdog – and to highlight through music and storytelling the value of community, family, and The Golden Rule. The characters appeared in several experimental projects before partnering with Metropolitan.

The Fairwood Brothers' musical roots run deep. Rusty Fairwood has recorded several acclaimed faith-based albums. His Top 40 single "Keep on Rollin'" made its world premiere on CMT, and "Stomp" fueled a line-dance craze and served as the basis for a video game. His second album 'Up to Something' produced his first #1, "Eighty Acre Church," which along with "Love's Gotta Go Somewhere" made a splash on the Music Row Chart. Musician, actor, and audio engineer Clark Fairwood was the bandleader and guitarist for Pinkeye D'Gekko, a Contemporary Christian band that toured with Craig Morgan, Bryan White, Junior Brown, Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, Flynnville Train, Whiskey Falls, Eric Church, and Halfway to Hazard. Clark has also opened for Chuck Berry, Ted Nugent, Marshall Tucker, VanZant, and Lonestar.
