Upcoming Shows

Tim O’Brien
Multi-Grammy award winner Tim O’Brien and his wife Jan Fabricius have
performed together nationally and internationally either as a duo or as part
of the Tim O’Brien Band since 2015. In a duet setting with a guitar, a
mandolin, and their two voices, they bring an intimate and warm acoustic
music roots repertoire that’s at once both original and traditional.
Singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist O’Brien, born in Wheeling WV
in 1954, grew up singing and playing guitar in church and in school. After
seeing Doc Watson on TV, he became a lifelong devotee of old time and
bluegrass music. Co-founder of Colorado’s Hot Rize, he toured the world
with that band from 1978 until he started his solo career in 1990. His songs
have been covered by Kathy Mattea, Garth Brooks, and the Dixie Chicks,
and his collaborators onstage and in the recording studio include Darrell
Scott, Dirk Powell, Mark Knopfler, and Sturgill Simpson. Awarded
Grammy’s in both the Folk and Bluegrass categories, he is a member of
both the West Virginia and the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. He lives with
Jan Fabricius in Nashville TN.
Jan Fabricius grew up in WaKeeney, Ks. and sang from an early age in
church and school, taking up clarinet and then mandolin. A registered
nurse and mother of two, she kept her hand in music through local jams
and regional bluegrass festivals while raising her family.
Jan’s music with O’Brien started informally around their home as he wrote
or learned new songs, and she soon found herself singing and playing
mandolin in the studio and onstage. O’Brien’s 2021 release “He Walked
On”, and his upcoming release “Cup of Sugar” feature original songs
cowritten by Tim and Jan.
