Heartfelt Bluegrass, Folk and Country“In his crafty way, O’Brien writes songs whose music invites us in warmly, wrapping us comfortably in sound before unveiling the lyrics that often reveal our shortcomings or sometimes celebrate the bonds we share with others.” (Folk Alley)The FSU Appalachian Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary with an uplifting performance from multiple Grammy Award-winning bluegrass legend Tim O’Brien and vocalist and mandolin player Jan Fabricius. Since 2015, this husband-and-wife team have performed together nationally and internationally, both as a duo and as part of the Tim O’Brien Band. Their heartfelt music reveals the power of their deep collaboration, and they light up the stage with the warmth of acoustic roots that is both original and traditional.A Wheeling, W.Va., native now based in Nashville, O’Brien first emerged as a singer, instrumentalist and songwriter with the iconic bluegrass group Hot Rize. He has since released numerable rootsy classics and written songs for legendary artists like Garth Brooks and The Chicks, collaborated with legends like Steve Earle, Mark Knopfler, Dan Auerbach, Sturgill Simpson and Steve Martin, and appeared at festivals including Western Maryland’s own DelFest. Raised in Kansas, Fabricius performed from an early age. Although her music with O’Brien started informally around their home, she soon found herself singing and playing mandolin with him both in the recording studio and on stage, resulting in a musical partnership that serves as a beautiful narrative of their life together.Following the show, Chuck Dicken, WFWM-FM station director, will host a lively and interactive conversation with the artists and audience members.The performance of Tim O’Brien and Jan Fabricius is presented by CES in partnership with Folklore and Folklife Programming at FSU.CES is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council (msac.org) and receives financial support from the Allegany Arts Council and the City of Frostburg.
