GEORGE FABER

My music is a labor of love and I do it for the sheer joy of creating, storytelling and evolving as an artist over the many decades I've been writing and performing.

If you know me from my early days as a psychedellic glam rock performer--or my roots as a Chicago-based blues soul singer--or heard my more recent recordings as a singer/songwriter, it's all part of my musical journey.

New release coming in May 2024…stay tuned!

About George

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.”
