Cyrus Faryar (Persian: سیروس فریار; born February 26, 1936)[1] is an Iranian-American folk musician, songwriter and record producer.

[2] Faryar's Greensleeves coffee house was, like those popularized first by San Francisco's beat generation in the Broadway section of the city, a gathering place for local musicians, poets and writers.

After his San Diego period, Faryar returned to Hawaii, where he helped form the Modern Folk Quartet, and produced two records in his eclectic neo-folk style.

After the Whiskeyhill Singers broke up, Faryar returned to Hawaii and formed a new singing group, the Modern Folk Quartet, with Chip Douglas, Henry Diltz and Jerry Yester, which lasted three years before disbanding in 1966.

"[1] Later that year, he collaborated with Mort Garson and synthesizer virtuoso Paul Beaver,[1] providing the narration for the album The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds, a pioneering psychedelic LP on Elektra Records.
