Named to honor an enduring Leonard Cohen classic song, “The FBR— comprised of Tim Hunter and Malarie McConaha—purveys American roots music traditions with poetic storytelling and multi-genre instrumental approaches. The two met at an open mic night at Puckett’s (now Fox and Locke) the local watering hole in Leiper’s Fork outside of Nashville.” What initially began as an acoustic project between the pair eventually grew to include a full band bringing additional guitar, percussion, bass, and keys to the table.
The FBR is billed as an all-original, Americana act steeped in Southern rock, blues, country, and Irish to name a few. They are big fans of other story tellers and vocal legends such as John Prine, Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile, Tedeschi Trucks, Lukas Nelson, Band of Heathens, Fleetwood Mac, Guy Clark, Janis Joplin, Emmylou Harris, and Steve Earle.
