I will be joining George Faber and his band on keyboards at the Pour Bar. George Faber is a veteran Minneapolis singer/songwriter/performer with a colorful 30-year music career. Born in Champaign, IL, Faber became deeply rooted in the Chicago blues scene. He spent years touring the country performing in blues houses like Kingston Mines and Wise Fools Pub, playing with legends like Muddy Waters and Lowell George. From there, the evolution of styles began; from a controversial glam rock front man performing to rock festival crowds and an early MTV video release – to returning to R&B blues roots and packing rooms from Chicago to New Orleans. Faber’s music has evolved blending all of these styles. His songs transmit the longing of a soul singer mixed with the honesty of a modern-day singer/songwriter. His recent recordings have also been highly acclaimed in the audiophile community nationally and internationally. Stereophile Magazine reviewed his work as “intensely soulful, passionate and hard-driving with strong, powerful melodies” adding “his rough-hewn, gritty voice is the perfect vehicle for his down-to-earth songs.”

Piano music in the Commons of the Mason City Public Library. Repertoire will include jazz standards and holiday tunes, including some original arrangements.

They attempt to operate a great number of instruments. They are also on the internet (world wide web) so you can search for them on there with your mobile device or smart tablet. They will not die alone. With their tongue-in-cheek brand of pop-punk, BUTTER BOYS songs are upbeat, somewhat snarky, and full of singalong rockers. Versatile singer Katie Drahos goes from lighter melodies to full-blown snarl while delivering punchy synth lines. Joe Marxen’s jangly lead guitar cuts across a tight rhythm section by drummer David Garcia and bassist Ollie Nordman. NORTHBOUND GIANTS is a four-piece rock band collecting inspiration from 90's pop-punk, melodic guitar […]
